Excellent location. Half a block to the beach and half a block to the Main Street with shops and restaurants. Close to the Heritage Trail and Alligator Hill trail head.

Great property for a couple. Not a lot of privacy with so many windows, but in summer months foliage provides some privacy. The house was clean and well provisioned. It was a comfortable get away for two. A bit pricey but walking distance to town was a huge plus. Wife and I are longtime visitors to the area, and this was on our vacation bucket list. We would definitely book this property again given our love of the area and the well-suited property for two (one bedroom). It can be difficult to find rentals without 2 ,3 ,4 bedrooms that cost a lot more. Major tourist town in the summer months weekdays are busy but be prepared for lots of people on weekends. Bedroom and bathroom were comfortable and clean. Kitchen worked well for meals to avoid eating out for every meal. I wouldn't mind owning this property myself.
