    Cozy stay with great vibes!

    Had an awesome time here! Marta and Kendall made everything feel so welcoming. The decor is super cute, and I met some fun new friends. My dog felt right at home too! Perfect spot right by the beach and a cool bar. Parking was a bit tight, but it’s worth it for the experience.
