Amazing location with easy beach access and boardwalk. Great virtual fronk desk. Communication was great! Room was cute and clean. Perfect for the 2 of us.

Great location! Easy parking. V tired pool.

You can’t beat the location for the beach and boardwalk. The room was cute and well laid out. The bathroom is very small overall with a good size shower. The tiling needs a refresh but it was clean. The kitchenette is great and the full size fridge was a bonus. The pool area was disappointing. The pool and concrete area around it are crumbling to pieces.
