July's place was amazing! You really do get your own private beach access right in the back yard. The water was calm enough and super shallow, you can walk out for awhile. We went during whale season and were able to watch the whales right from the lanai! There was plenty of gear for use even binoculars that made the whale watching that much more exciting! In addition to being really close to the beach, you're really close to some stores as well. We walked to the Farmers Market/Grocery store, Badass Coffee, and more. A few notes that others have mentioned and the post mentions, there is no A/C, but plenty of fans to keep the place cool. If you are uncomfortable without A/C, you might want to reconsider. Also, since the place is right off the ocean, you will hear the ocean waves! It does quiet down when you close the sliding door. If you are a sensitive sleeper, you might want to reconsider as you can also her the cars on the road. Other than that, if those things don't bother you, July's place is perfect! She's really good at getting back to you quickly. I'd definitely stay here again!
