If you're looking for the most basic property to stay a night or two, this is your place. The room was clean and the space is very small. The window air conditioner made the room either very hot or very cold. The TV speaker was blown, so it resonates if turned up enough to hear it. The bathroom is the size of a campers bathroom. The bed is pretty comfortable and no bed bugs. Bare bones is the best way to describe it.

Overall the property is very clean. The only issue we had was housekeeping kept coming to the door even with the do not disturb sign. After knocking and we spoke they still unlocked the door. Checkout was at 11 and they came at 9:00 and then again at 10:45 when we were walking out. It should also be noted that parking is limited.

Super cute and affordable space right near the beach. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. We liked how easy it was to drive up to the room and unload the vehicle. Parking got slightly more difficult the busier it got, but it still wasn’t an issue. We did have an issue with the locking system on the door, but it was easily resolved over the phone. Would definitely stay here again
