Just as described, if not better! Karla's stay provided privacy yet convenience. We loved the breeze and nature sounds. This is most definitely a charming stay. Karla has considered so many comforts and kindly provides fun beach gear, a portable propane grill, and the usual items in the kitchen and refrigerator. We didn't have any bugs on the patio and we enjoyed hearing the occassional sounds of the quiet neighborhood (roosters, dogs, birds, and frogs). If you have a hard time sleeping with some sounds, bring ear plugs otherwise the fans and white noise machine will work. I highly recommend this stay! Don't miss out!
