Telma was an exceptionally responsive and great host. The unit faces highway one and the beach is a short walk (10 min-15 min) walk away from the unit depending on your pace. Crossing the 1 can be difficult depending on the time of day, however, there is a tunnel if you are adventurous. The other option is to drive (5 mins to the beach), and there is parking sprinkled along the various beaches. The unit is a studio layout, with no oven but there is a microwave and a stovetop for cooking. I would definitely stay with Telma again. We did not use the hot tub as we spent our time at the beach. Sidenote - bring a beach tent if possible, it helped to have a place to stash our stuff while we were at the beach.
