Summary: Excellent communication from Shane, the host. The Bach has everything you need, feels very clean, and has sliding doors which transform a smallish living area into a much bigger space.Beautiful sheets and a decent shower. We loved the fact that the Bach was close to the beach but not too close to neighbors. My husband wants to return next year.
