Life's a Beach-Little Gem

by Ronald

Great location steps from the beach. Also there is a bonus for Tesla owners, there is a 50 Amp Plug in for charging while staying at this little gem.

Beautiful beach views!

by Ronald

Great, newly built home that is a short walk to the beach. Host is very responsive. If you're a Tesla owner, make sure you bring your 14-50 Plug, they have a 50 AMP plug so you don't have to worry about charging while on the island!
