Exactly what I wanted - simple and clean plus ocean front. Its no frills, but the ocean view and price (plus very clean) more than makes up for that. On site parking was easy.

It was ok though the room door didn't close properly. If it wasn't so quiet I wouldn't have felt safe. Also there were so many bugs at the door on the morning.
