The beachside studio was perfect for us. Only a few steps from the ocean and on the ground floor. :) We were also happily surprised to find there was a microwave as we didn't expect to have one. We were pleased with the several beach items left for our use as well: boogie board, snorkeling for two, beach chairs and towels, etc. Overall we had a great stay! We never saw Mary, but she gave very detailed instructions and everything was as she said. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
