This was a choice I made to photograph the monarch butterflies. It was convenient to the beach area without being on the boardwalk. The room was spotless and had a little kitchenette which I like. I did use the kitchen sink for tooth brushing etc as the bathroom sink is a type of Japanese one (they use them over there) but it was too small for me. The shower was scorching hot and had great flow. I think Maria and her husband are very nice, gracious hosts and I would stay there again . Thanks guys!!!
