What a wonderful place to listen to the waves and breathe in ocean air. It is close to restaurants, coffee, bakery, and bike rental shop. It was nice and quiet when we were there (no noise from anyone else in the rest of the house perhaps because the top level was being renovated.). Note that there really isn't a kitchen, just a sink, microwave, small fridge; and the shower is in that same area, too, so no privacy in that area if a friend happens to be there (versus a partner or kids). There is no cable TV (just a Netflix subscription, which we didn't need), so there's no local news, etc, if that's important.
