The location was perfect, 2-3 minute walk to the beach. Outside shower was very convenient to ensure sand/debris from the beach was washed off before entering the house. The real plus to our stay was the quietness of the neighborhood and the perfectly working air conditioning. We would definitely stay at this property again in the future. Thank you Delaine and Larry for your prompt response to our inquiries and being a fantastic host!
