We had a great stay! The view from the balcony was spectacular and we could hear the ocean with the slider open. It was nice to have coffee in the balcony in the morning. It was the perfect size for a couple. The bed was very comfortable, so perhaps the mattress was replaced? (Referring to past reviews). The washer and dryer were so handy, as were the provided beach towels. The kitchen was well stocked and although we didn’t cook, it was great to have the dishes, fridge and microwave for leftovers.
It was also in a convenient location within walking distance to a small store that had beach essentials and groceries, a snorkel shop, a coffee place and a brewery, as well as a gas station.
Check in/out was very convenient as well.
The reason for 4 stars is that we believed the place had “beach access”. However, the water actually came all the way up to the property and sandbags- there was no beach access, ie no sandy spot to put your toes in the sand or the water, or go swimming in the ocean. You can see the ocean from the pool area. This was in December, and looking back at the description now, I see it states “seasonal beach access”, so perhaps other seasons it changes. I would suggest verifying this with your host if beach access is important to you.
