"Such a cute place. We stayed upstairs and the apartment up there is adorable. Beautifully furnished. We didn’t really use the kitchen, but it seemed to have pretty much everything you could’ve want. Bathroom is great, now I want to redecorate mine. Check-in was super easy. Easily walkable to the cute little downtown. A little bit far to walk to the beach, but we did it anyway, and it was fine.. Would definitely stay here again."
