Great view but apartment was just ok
The draw to this place is the gorgeous location right on the beach. Watching the waves with our coffees in the morning was great, and the sunsets were beautiful. The swimming was OK. While the beach itself is sandy, it's pretty rocky once you're in the water, and it's rocky getting in. But could be solved with water shoes. Also, a warning that the waves varied a lot each day, and we did not consider it safe to swim some of the time because of how strong the surf was. Someone drowned there on our last day. Just be cautious, maybe ask a local's opinion on conditions if you're unsure. Regarding the apartment itself, we didn't care for it. It was a bit rustic, not very well equipped, and had maintenance issues. The master shower wasn't draining hardly at all when we arrived, and they didn't come to address it for 3 days. By then, my husband had spent some time trying to deep clean their drain of sand and hair with an old coat hanger so we could shower. They didn't improve things any further than my husband had, and it continued to drain slow. We didn't want to use the 2nd bathroom because it smelled like mold. The master bed was uncomfortable - too hard, and was just 2 single beds pushed together so there was a gap in the middle. We wouldn't stay here again. Also be aware that you must buy everything, even toilet paper. The owner was very nice, but there seemed to be a disconnect between him and who handles the apartment locally (she was less nice).
