The view of the porch is stunning. You could not be closer to the beach. The apartment is as stated in the offering, but this was the first place we have rented in our lives where we had to take our own garbage/recycling out and look for a place to dispose of them. We were left with one and a half rolls of toilet paper so we had to purchase more, as well as paper towels, and dishwashing liquid. Luckily, we had brought our own bath soap. The amenities are basic at best. We were at the apartment in late October and the heat worked fine. The room darkening blinds were also helpful for sleeping. Check in and checkout were easy, but we had to park in a public parking area two blocks from the apartment. The town is pleasant and we ate at two local restaurants that served very good food.
