Carlos's place was extremely clean and very nicely furnished and maintained. He was in contact when we needed him for small things. The photos very fairly represent the apartment. It is a short walk to the beach, but too far if you have a lot of gear like an umbrella, chairs... There is public parking for a fee close to the beach and a beach entry fee for non-resident adults. The beach was awesome! Beautiful, clean, good waves, warm water for New England and food vendors near the beach as well as bathrooms and showers. Carlos gave some good tips for restaurants to get to. All and all this is a great beach retreat!
