9.2/10 Wonderful! (14 reviews)
Gorgeous, clean, spacious, comfortable two bed, two bath apartment with kitchen, laundry room and all. Absolutely loved it- homey, natural light, quiet. My friend and I were pleasantly surprised how much space we had: own full bathrooms, closets, cozy large beds. Bathtub was huge- very long. Cute lil patio w/table and chairs too. Only minor issue was parking wasn’t assigned/reserved so we had trouble finding close spot in evenings. Unit is a short drive to beach, restauants, shopping. Loved it. Will definitely stay again. Great place and space for families.
