    Conveniently located, wonderful and comfortable studio room with great views of the Bay. Baywatch owners - Ray and his delightful wife (sorry have forgotten her name) were fantastic and so helpful on anything requested or questions asked. Also a mention must go to the best guest welcoming 4 legged friends - two gorgeous dogs who made us very welcome! Wish we had stayed longer.
