I am 73 years old and have stayed in hotels, motels, VRBO's including prestigious resorts. When I walked into our room (#3) I immediately noted personal attention to many items that made the room more comfortable. I am sure a woman and a well traveled woman who was keenly aware of little things that make a huge difference. Too many to list all, but don't you hate those tiny waste baskets in hotel rooms? There was a big trash can lined with a draw string bag, the bottom of the shower curtain was in a laundry basket! Perfect to help keep water off the floor. Cord covers helped protect cables from damage but prevented trip hazards. There was a wood deck out the room that accessed the back yard which was perfectly manicured and fenced. This was one of the warmest stays I can remember though my many years of travel.

Comfortable, Clean, and Conveniently close to beach! Everything needed was provided. I stayed in Jr room. A little small but comfy. I would only recommend one thing…..A full length mirror! As a lady I like to have one while getting dressed to go out. Just a small one on back of closet door would do! Thanks for the great hospitality! Shannon Price

Great pet friendly place, has an unfenced area in the back for the dogs to run and do their business. Everything in the room was very comfortable only thing is the showers are small but as a tall guy you’re already used to that. We will definitely stay here again.

It was a nice stay. Don’t expect the royal treatment because there is none. The room was really small but nice for just sleeping. The noise can be really annoying because the walls are not soundproof. Needs a lot of updating.

First, the good: cute place and near the beach. The unit itself is great for what it is. It’s just an old building. So if you are ok w loud noises, this place is great just be sure you get an upstairs unit. The bad: we were on the first floor and the people above us both nights were stomping and super loud and we slept terribly both nights. I feel bad writing this cause it’s not the properties fault but we did submit a complaint, and the people above us were still super loud. You can hear every step and they were stomping till 2 AM. It was pretty annoying.
