Summary: Convenient to the shops, restaurants, and beaches. Home was beautiful. Historic charmer is the perfect description with all the original wood throughout. The hosts were accessible and checked in to make sure we were okay and if we needed anything. Perfect for a weekend with my mom and sister.
