Not one or two but 3 roaches found at arrival. There was also a roach in the lighting fixture. There were cob webs, stuff on the walls that should and need to be cleaned. The tub was moldy and gross. They used masking tape to “fix” plumbing. Awful stay. Best part about it was just walking on the beach. Go elsewhere. Don’t stay here.

For the price, I give it the stars I did bc it’s a run down place that truly needs repairs and upgrades but my guess is they may not be in the position to do so. Therefore with the low cost of staying the nights and its location is great on the beach, I can’t expect much.
