We like to take our dog to all the dog friendly beaches in the area. So this location was prefect for us and such a good value. It is in a nice neighborhood and yet there are commercial centers very close by with several restaurants. James has provided several appliance and kitchen equipment so you could cook all your meals if you chose to. The kitchen is on the smallish side so elaborate meals may be a challenge. There is a bus stop in front of the place, if our stay was longer it would have been fun to figure out where we could have gone using the bus. James is a very attentive host. His response to all our inquiries were very prompt. He even drove over to help us figure out how to use the TV as the two of us are not really technology oriented so we needed help using the Roku. We enjoyed out stay very much.
