"The place was spotless and truly organized for such a small space. 4 girls stayed there comfortably for 2 nights. The beach area is comfortable with chairs and picnic table. The view of the water from inside and from the beds is awesome. The beds are comfortable and a washer/dryer is a huge plus. It’s a short drive to anything you need. I do recommend it."
