Fantastic property near the beach

This over-garage apartment was beautifully appointed and incredibly comfortable. Walk out the door and you are at the private beach in less than 2 minutes. Lovely water views from the living room. The host had so many thoughtful extras like beach towels and sand toys, water bottles in the refrigerator, etc. We wojle absolutely recommend.

The property is immaculate and Dawn’s welcome book gives you all the info you need to get settled and enjoy your stay. White sheets and white towels that are fluffy along with a few tasty treats waiting for you are just the kinds of details that make you feel pampered. Would definitely stay again.
