My initial experience was horrible, but after talking to host and VRBO representative I was afforded comfortable accommodations and upgrade at no cost. The room I was given had a balcony and it was CLEAN! This place was across street from beach, had a mini fridge and coffee pot with tv inside only. There is an area on 1st floor that has microwave, coffee pot and water dispenser. Ooh yeah, balcony rooms are facing street so the car traffic during day can be loud but at night is is quiet. I will now stay here again.

The location was perfect and steps away from the beach. The room was awesome and loved the lounge/waiting area.Only couple things that I would’ve given a 5/5 would have been the code was tricky to put in and at one point we needed a new one the first night in. Also the fire alarm went off at 5am today and unsure what happened but communication could have been helpful. Lastly I messaged the host and received no response because I was hoping to add a room.. not huge things but outside of that would absolutely stay again we loved it.

Room was ok for the price. But there was no maid service. We were there for 2 nights with no clean towels or replacing in room coffee. Would not have mattered as when we tried to use the coffee maker it leaked all over the floor.

Host was good. Had trouble with our door key. Host finally had to unlock with a master and reset for us. Very tight parking. And TV went off a few times but came back on fairly quickly. Otherwise just as advertised. Was overall a good stay

Check in was super easy. Dude behind the counter just agreed to everything we said. I don't think he was paying attention lfmao. He didn't even laugh when we cracked a joke just said "yeah".

This location was pretty average. The check in process wasn't great. Our combo code didn't work after they sent us to our room which isn't a big deal but then they gave us a room with a TV that didn't have a working remote?? The room also felt kinda damp which is just part of staying somewhere near a beach but was still kinda annoying. Overall, nothing really negative but also not a ton that was super positive. So just an average experience.
