Hard time getting into the room as it was a code and we had to have it changed three times, electric fireplace only for looks do not use the heat as it blew the fuses and our power went out, bed extremely firm but comfortable. Left a partial drink on the counter came back to ants. Room was nicely decorated

This place is a scam. They have you register in advance on some sketchy website, which is a big lengthy process requiring photos of yourself(??!!!) in addition to your expedia account, then they require you to add another 35 dollar fee for damages on the website that Expedia does not mention in the fees. Then no one answers questions or responds to calls. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RENTAL.

Pacman studio

Check in was easy with combo lock. No need to check in at hotel. Room was average size with everything you would need for cooking. Has small sink fridge combo . Which I had never seen before. Room was average in size. if your looking for an inexpensive place to crash while your in town. It does the job. Quarter mile downhill to beach. The updates to make this look more oalita le were just pieces of wood going up the wall. Looked a lot better in pics. Big surprise was the Mrs pacman on the wall. Had a bit of fun till we realized the joystick does not move Mrs pacman down. Just up and side to side but still fun. Place was clean host was very nice. It is what it is. Nice place to stay in a budget.

It worked for what we needed for a quick, inexpensive weekend stop, but it's a bit tight for 3 people. The owner was very kind and accommodating. The wifi was iffy, but that's an easy fix, and having Roku TV was nice. It's on the first floor beside the parking lot so we had easy access to our car, for loading and unloading luggage. It's not on the beach, but it's a short two minute drive from the beach and even closer to Asian House Chinese food, Davids Subs for breakfast, and Dollar General. I loved the location.
