This is not beachfront, but just a short walk across the road to a private beach area and it is gorgeous. The accommodations were surprising and excellent. Very clean, spacious, upscale furnishings, beautifully decorated and fully equipped, including beach toys, body boards, umbrellas etc. Very first class! Highly recommend...
