Five stars!

Beautiful place to stay right on the beach,although it was super windy and cold we made the best of it on the third floor with a firepit,drinks and it was so much warmer with enclosed glass. Stayed out there three days and everything was so walkable. The staff was sooo hands down making sure ur stay is safe and comfortable we had a flat tire and the my right away notified us to let us know that we had a flat on the passenger side luckily there was an automotive place couple blocks away and they too were kind and quick to get things fixed so we could continue our vacation. Definitely would stay here again!
