Host was very welcoming and had such nice extra amenities like books, games, stuff to use to go to the beach, a mobile drink cart, and more. And he was exceptionally accommodating.

Very cozy, welcoming property. James is lovely and a very accommodating host. Very responsive. And the enclosed patio, surrounded by greenery, is a real plus. Beds are very comfortable. We were three women. But the set-up is also good for families.
