Views! Sound! Convince!

The view was amazing. Loved the view! Loved being so close to the ocean. Loved the sound of the waves. Loved the location. Loved walking distance from so much. Loved morning coffee with a view. I can’t say enough about the location because I love the beach and walking. The room itself was not impressive.

Nice place, but could use some updating

We were placed in room #4. Ok room, clean and spacious for a couple. Well-decorated. Almost no ocean view, but this was advertised as "courtyard view" so we weren't expecting anything great. There were no outlets by the bed. Only outlets were in the bathroom and the dining area. Pull out bed was old and completely worn out, needs to be replaced. This means anyone aside from those sleeping in the king bed are not going to be comfortable. Property has several parking spots but parking is not free; do you really need to charge customers an extra $22/day?

Our stay here was enjoyable. Our room offered a small refrigerator, microwave, a small kitchen table and chairs, a full size sofa and chair. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and stocked with all we needed. Parking availble for guests only, additonal parking is available on the street. A furnished sun deck was available and comfortable to gather at. The beach is just across the street. The sunsets were incredible. Visitors lined the sidewalk, across the street, just to take in the view at sundown. The staff was very accommodating, very friendly. We will definitely return.

Great location, immediately right on the beach and close to food and entertainment. The walls are thin, anytime someone walked by our room, you could feel them. Other places cost the same, but the view and proximity to the beach was premium.
