Getaway

We had a suite and the view was wonderful. The pool was heated and private. Walk down to the shore for a relaxing view as well. Kitchen was nice. Decor on spot. Not too far from Camden and nice scenic drives.

Beautiful seaside property

Super cute decor and balcony. Comfortable beds, room had a refrigerator but no microwave. I like to have tea at bed and the lobby was closed by then so it was a bit of a bummer. Absolutely beautiful waterfront area to walk around on. We had so much fun on the beach in the morning that our other small problems with the property were washed away. A lot of noise came through from the room above us. Maybe slightly louder than normal conversation, and heavy footsteps were shaking our room. They opened their balcony door every few minutes for an hour and it sounded like a truck was driving over us. They finally stopped around 10:30 so we didn't make a noise complaint but it seemed like they weren't being really excessive yet a ton of noise was made anyway. Just wasn't really expecting that, so wanted to give others a heads up to get a top floor room if you can!

The location was good and the decor was nice, but the bed needs replaced. The edge of the accessible shower and the tile near it was moldy. The balcony and view were super! Towels were great, fridge was fine. Would have liked a coffee maker or microwave!

It started out as amazing, but they were doing work on the pool, sand blasting during two of the best days for us to be out on our balcony. During the day we could not sit out on the balcony as the dust from the sand blasting came right towards our room. There was work men walking across the balcony all day. We left a day early because of this.
