Lovely kitchenette room with second, private bedroom; personal patio and community patio with amazing view of beach and ocean from high on a hill! Kind and helpful staff. Beach chairs and boogie boards freely borrowable. Easy access to beach, coffee, and ice cream. Pretty neighborhood. Short walk into town. Could not have been nicer!
