    Location was beautiful. I wish I could’ve got down to the water though. It was kind of trippy when I was in the pool and there were people eating dinner all dressed up but still very nice.

    Outstanding location, right on the ocean. Very rare for a property in this price range. Small enough property to allow for a sense of peace and quiet. Beautiful pool, great restaurant.
