Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The location was excellent! It was only like 5 yards from the ocean and the view there was incredible. The unit had a washer and dryer which was fantastic. There was tons of storage space, especially upstairs. The staff was super nice and friendly and the hotel offered bikes you could borrow, towels and beach toys, a water cooler for refilling your water bottle and an ice machine, right in the lobby! The parking is super tight so we ended up not using our car much and just walking instead. The upstairs bathroom doesn't have air conditioning so it gets warm and steamy, especially in summer. There was also construction going on behind the hotel so you couldn't really enjoy the patio/sunroom in our unit. But otherwise, the place was great and I would definitely recommend it to others.

The location is steps away the beach. The communication with the hotel was excellent. Our family of four enjoyed our five-day stay. There is no elevators for travelers to transport luggage, therefore you will have some stairs to climb if stay in one of the upper units.

An amazing gem. The room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The ladies at reception were so cheery and friendly, greeting you every time you past and asking about your plans. They were super helpful providing information on the area and booking trips. The reception area has so many extras for your use…just help yourself to beach towels, coolers, chairs, toys, bikes, etc. Would love to come back and stay longer!
