the house is beautiful and every little detail is taken care of. The rooms are big and comfortable, the kitchen is great and the living spaces are inviting to stay home all day. it's very quiet even though it's close the 7th ave and the beach is a short walk away. there's a nice cafe 2 min walk from the house and a fish market 10 min walk. we would definitely come back!

From the minute we arrived, I was very impressed by this accommodation. The location was fantastic, onsite parking is always a bonus and the lady who greeted us at front desk and got us checked in was so welcoming. Our room was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and the bed was very comfortable. The free coffee/tea/water/soda etc is also a wonderful service. We absolutely loved our stay here and could not recommend Rio Vista Suites & Inn more!
