Didn’t need a car. Our family of 4 (myself, my wife and 2 children under 4) spent 6 days here in February 2021. We walked everywhere. Publix is an 8 minute walk. The beach is a 20 minute walk (unless the drawbridge is up). We walked to a great German restaurant one night in about 7 minutes. Starbucks is a 12 minute walk away.
The pool was a welcome respite when we wanted to stay close.
Ofir was very helpful and quick to respond. We really enjoyed our stay at his comfortable flat.
