Marilyn was a great host and her place is perfectly located right by the beach. Check in process was very easy and Marilyn made us feel welcome with preparing some snacks upon arrival. It did get a bit chilly at night but luckily there were more blankets in the closet which I don't presume would be an issue for those travelling in the summer time. We did cook a few times and found that there were the basic essentials provided in the kitchen.
