We stayed 1 night in September. It was a hot day and found the room to be quite warm when we checked in and they gave us a fan. A ceiling fan would be beneficial in the small room. The beds were comfortable and the room was nicely decorated but small so our suitcases took up most of the room. The front desk had a lovely lady who checked us in and recommended a great restaurant in the area. The area has nice beaches but unswimmable. Great walk on the boardwalk and wonderful sunset

This place was great. We booked it last minute and they were very professional and accommodating. The room matched the photos, the staff were wonderful and they even delivered a fun breakfast picnic basket to our doorstep the next morning. I really enjoyed my one night visit here.

Probably the nicest property in Moon Stone beach. My favorite amenity was the basket/breakfast each morning. More could be offered at the lobby such as happy hour or light snacks.

Very nice property. The issue we had was the cleanliness of the bathroom. The floor were disgustingly dirty. I used the towel to clean up water on the floor, showed that the floors were not clean or sanitary. I shared this with the manager on duty and she said she would follow up with me. Have not heard back.
