Pleasant stay

We were pleased with the place that we stayed in. It is in a good location; walking distance from the beach and some restaurants. It was clean and organized however it would be great if it was more updated. There was recliners that were old and ripped

When I showed up at the property the cleaning ladies were still there and in the parking spot, so I had to wait for them to finish. They went a few minutes over, wasn’t that big of a deal but a little inconvenient having to wait, as there really isn’t anywhere to sit and wait. Location is amazing, closer to the ocean than I thought. Definitely a little out dated. Wasn’t completely aware there is no AC. Came back one day and it was extremely hot inside. They had 1 working fan in the closet, would have been nice if they all were working. Parking was hard. You have one spot in the garageOverall great experience, we had a good time.

We had a great stay. We stayed in the upstairs unit. There were plenty of beds and bedding. There were more than enough towels for showering and the beach. They have chairs for the beach, which we didn’t end up using, but were in the garage. It was a little loud at night, but we were there during one of the busiest weeks after graduation. It is in a perfect location. You are close to many restaurants and the pier. My only complaint is the pillows weren’t great. We ended up buying some from Target, but overall everything was really good. I would highly recommend the unit.
