Overall our experience was a great experience. The space was clearly new, however, it felt a little unfinished for the price point. The most important part is that it was in fact very clean. If you are looking for a "hotel experience" I do not anticipate you would have any issues with the space. It in fact felt more like a hotel. If you are looking for more of a "homey" feel where you can cook and share the space with someone it might be a stretch. We made it work for one night as it was a last minute booking. It is in fact beach front, but there are no stairs on the balcony to lead you down to the beach, and the balcony is very small. If you just want to hear the waves at night then yes it's a good space for that. None the less the host were easy to communicate with and easy to work with.
