Cute, little space with lots of thoughtful touches - beach bag w/ towels and lotion and bathrobes, for example. The location was perfect for us since it was close to family and we could walk into town in our free time. We especially appreciated the easy free parking and quiet neighborhood and how easy it was to communicate with the owner.

Second time staying at one of Sharon’s great locations. She is super helpful, the unit has all the considerations you could think of and the location is perfect. Would stay again!
