The apartment was just as stated, 2 blocks away from the beach, which means if you are from anywhere but the island, you're up early enough to catch glorious sunrise from there. Also, the views from your backyard just beautiful, catching the sunset there touching the mountains was a treat. The whole stay was perfect. To find a place just off the beating path, but still close enough to all the necessities. my 19 month old loved all the cats, roosters, and chickens roaming the property, as well as smelling the flowers and having the statues smell them also. Margaret was great at communicating all our needs, and Julie on sight was a gem, what a great team.
