The location was great. Got a call on our arrival day that the pool was closed. Booking a location with a pool was important to us so that was upsetting. Parking was easy, walking to beach and dinner was easy, room was small but great for what we needed!

Excellent location

Great location, very short walk to the beach. Grounds are very well kept. There was a delay in the availability of the pool, but we were able to use it the second half of our stay. There were a couple of small issues upon check-in which were promptly addressed. Would definitely stay again!

Truly a hidden treasure

Great location made for easy walk to the beach, the pier, a park and restaurants. Situated on a quiet side street but easy to find. Check in and out were simple. Nothing fancy on the inside. Beautiful grounds. Only 4 units so the pool was never crowded. Lots of outdoor seating and a hammock. I’m planning to stay here again.

I loved the location. The check in process was unique. Felt like 4pm was later than most places. 3pm would be a better option if that could be arranged.

The room was nice but very cozy. The location was great. It was very easy walking distance to the pier to watch the sunrise. But be prepared to have to walk through the sprinklers if you are getting out in the early morning. The sprinklers are set to run from about 6:30- 7:30a.m.There is a toaster/air fryer combo, coffee pot, microwave, & stove top but be prepared to get creative on how to areange them when you need to use them due to having very short cords and not many outlets. The only real complaint about the room was the size of the shower. It was a TINY walk-in and was difficult to comfortably move around to get all the "important places" clean. However, the showehead can be used as a handheld which was nice. And the water pressure was good.

Quaint little piece of heaven

Loved our room with the little kitchen area, and loved the pool and quietness of the neighborhood and the close proximity to everything. The only thing that I'm upset with (more mad at myself) is I left my small quilt & pillow for last and my sister came out and had the place locked up, so I didn't go back in to make my last round and left my quilt behind ;( it was given to me from a special friend and she actually signed & dated it. So I'm not sure why the cleaners wouldn't have turned it in. I was in the area the entire following week after check out and I called 3 different times. I know you are not responsible for things left behind, but I also work for a property management company and go above & beyond to help our tenants & residents. I do look forward to going back again. Thank you
