The host was responsive and helpful when we wanted to check in early. The check in directions were easy to follow and the location was about a 10-15 min walk to our favorite beach. The view from the balcony was great for enjoying morning coffee. The room did retain a lot of heat even while keeping windows and doors open through out the day and night. The bed frame was creaky and mattress was uncomfortable after sleeping on it for a week. Personally, for an average male and female build the toilet felt small. Over all the host did provide beach chairs, towels, and a fully stocked kitchen.
