"I enjoyed my stay here. As much as I would love to say it was awful and keep this place to myself I can’t. It was great. It’s difficult to find something on this beach that is both affordable and nice. This meets both. I am building a place near by and until it’s completed this will definitely be my go to place. The host is a very friendly Ticco. It’s very new. Nothing but good things to say. "
