Excellent spot. Our first trip with our five month old son and the place was great. Very close to town and the Saturday market! The patio was very perfect for morning coffee and dinners at night. Would highly recommend.

The property owner was super attentive. The location was central and walkable to both the beach and the main strip. And the accommodations were spacious - loads of natural light and the small patio with umbrella was a perfect space to start my mornings.
