"The home was very clean, modern and comfortable. Perfect for a small family/couple getaway. Easy process from start to finish, and it is located really close to everything. The beaches are just a short drive, just don't forget to pay for parking or you will get a boot on your car and a fine. Things to bring along for your stay: cozy blanket if you are a blanket person, hairdryer, coffee/ tea ( regular coffee pot) spices/oil/cooking spray, I don't think I saw any sheet pans, or pots, or frying...
