As a single female traveler, I did feel safe in the area and the beach is right around the corner. The maintenance guy was friendly and the cleaning team was awesome. Though the listing said the place would be ready for check in @ 3pm, room was not ready but host was able to accommodate me so that I could work until the unit was ready and communication was very prompt. The unit itself reminded me of a room at an extended stay or suburban lodge. You're definitely paying for location; the beach.
