The property was nice and right on the beach. We stayed in the dunes building. The only thing I wish they offered was a continental breakfast. They had a “deli” type area and a restaurant onsite. The staff that we interacted with was very nice. I would stay again.

When i arrived and checked in there was a wendy’s cup in my room that i hope was beer. I was supposed to have a balcony but didnt press the issue because of how busy things were. Some positives was security directing people to overflow because of a convention. Lovely view of ocean. Staff at check in was great. Location was good. I was able to walk to Pineapple Willys and ice cream spot.

Great view for a cheap price.

It was a decent stay. Cheap price and cheap hotel. But beds were comfortable, no bugs and the AC was cold. During the week was good as we mostly had it and the beach to ourselves, but come the weekend, it was packed with lots of beer everywhere, loud music, and marijuana smell everywhere. We ended up checking out a day early. Would rent again however for the price, but it will be during the week only.
