    The hosts were great, Brian especially had lots of tips and info on the local area. The hotel was perfect for visiting the beach.

    Property was cute! Perfect for the little last minute stay that was needed. The price reflected this, it was very basic (good thing) and I felt comfortable without worrying what to touch and what not to touch, this is the perfect little last...
