The property is super cute and very well appointed. It’s in a great location walking distance to restaurants, bars and the beach. We had a small snafu with initially getting into the house but Jen was quick to respond and rectify the issue. We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Jen for sharing your beautiful home with us.
