10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about this room. The jacuzzi out front. The open doors into the bedroom, the beautiful kitchen (vintage) and the bathroom. Everything was so beautiful. It’s almost a shame to come home! The location is perfect. Walk right into the beach! Walk down the street for breakfast. Lunch, and dinner! It was the perfect getaway for two! Parking was tight but made it work no problem."
