The location couldn't be any better. The cottage is very well equipped and the tradewinds that go through the place is the best AC you could ever ask for!

We loved being so close to a kid-friendly beach, and having access to the boogie boards, chairs, beach towels, and umbrellas that Jeff and Ross provided. We walked to some of the local restaurants and enjoyed Mexican and Japanese food as well as a lovely bakery, all within a five... More
