There was nobody at the front until you call their cell phone and they come help you. He did put us on the 3rd floor for better view of the ocean BUT gave us keys to a room already occupied, that was embarrassing. No elevator, rather narrow stairs. Room was beautiful & very clean. The hairdryer in my room didn't work.

Nice older property on beach. Clean, spacious rooms. Be aware there are no elevators and views of ocean cannot be seen from ground level. I was fortunate to be able to change room from ground level to second floor upon arrival. Wish I had time to spend more than one night.

Needs a few upgrades but would definitely go back!

Nice beachfront rooms. Room was just repainted and new tub. Needs more and better pillows and an extra blanket. There is a large cabinet at the door Star could be replaced with a wardrobe as there is no place to hang clothes. The pool and spa are out of service, which was disappointing for the beginning of the season. Staff was nice and the owner worked hard to keep beach access and the shower clean. Would definitely go back!

So-so

Very basic, think Motel 6 with a great view. A/C was great, pillows were great, bed decent. TV service good, ice machine great. Outdated, sandy floors, smashed bug on the wall, left over bottles of shampoo for general use...that was weird, plastic cups had faulty bottoms, way too much light coming into the room at night. Who uses white cloth shades for light reduction? Pool was out of commission, looks like for a while now. Toilet sized for kids and short women, not men with "dangly" things. Nice office staff. Not sure I'd return to this location. Not sure who provided the online rating but disagree with it's rating determination.
