Excelente lugar para descansar ! Cerca de bellas playas y disfrutando la naturaleza.
(translation: Excellent place to relax! Close to beautiful beaches and enjoy nature)
The property is large - several acres at least. Plenty of parking. The home is older, but large, with plenty of new furnishings and ample ocean view deck and patio space.
The pool area has a covered entertainment area that we really enjoyed.
Definitely rebooking.
