Nice little place to stay off the beaten path. Convenient location to the beach, restaurants, and adventure. Quiet…well, except for the room refrigerator. That little thing seemed to be working extra hard.

Was clean and fine for what we were doing. No ocean view. Restaurant across road was GREAT! Walls between rooms very thin. And airport noise pretty loud at all times. Having to drive up and Uturn to go the other direction was a pain and always seemed to be our route.

Nice and spacious room. However, it smelled a little musty. Got the one nearby the road, so heard some noises coming from the street even late at night. Didn't have the best sleep. The staff was gracious and polite. Might come back and hopefully get a room that is far from the road next time if I'm lucky
