"Terrific location. The beach supplies and towels were great to have. Gabriel was such a wonderful host. We enjoyed the delicious breakfasts and nice outside area.Unfortunately, there was a plumbing issue while we were there (previous guest’s kid had put toy down toilet). While it was disruptive to our stay, they did get a Plummer and cleaned up after the work, which we appreciated. We would definitely stay there again! Loved our visit!"
