Karen’s studio is a gem.! You are literally steps to the beach which was not crowded at all. High end finishes in the kitchen and bath. We were there for 10 days and had everything we needed...from the kitchen (pans, utensils, dishes etc) to the beach (beach chairs, umbrella, cooler). Karen responded to our messages very quickly and gave great recommendations for restaurants. My husband was there for work so during the day I was by myself. I felt completely safe. I met a few of the people that live there and they were friendly. We hope to return again sometime in the future.
