Joe's place has a ton of character and you can feel that he put a lot of work into making it so cozy! We loved that there were so many screens because at night being able to listen to the rainfall like that was such a treat. Joe responded very quickly to email and was easy to communicate with. We had total privacy once we were there and would only have heard from him if we needed him. We never took advantage of being so close to the ocean since it rained while we were there, but the tide pools and beach were very nearby. Overall everything was wonderful and we would definitely stay there again.
