Came to stay October 15/2011 and planned staying until December 20. Rented a studio unit overlooking the marina. Perfect location for anyone who likes to watch the boats come and go, as well as people watch foot traffic on the boardwalk. Very handy to numerous restaurants, fishing charters and only a short walk to Mendano beach, or an infinant variety of shops, inexpensive restaurants and lively bars. Would give my experiences two thumbs up, and am planning to come here for four months in 2012 rather than the two months on this trip.
