My husband and I stayed for 2 nights. While this is not the fanciest place you can stay, it’s great for the price. it’s clean and comfortable. It’s perfect walking distance from everything… beach, shops, dining. It’s a small property, very few amenities and we had to make a 3 point turn to get out of the parking lot, but overall we really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back.

We liked this property. Parking was super convenient - right outside our door, and the location was great - walkable to a variety of restaurants, coffee place with good coffee - all on the main drag. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.

For clarification purposes only, they do not have a three bedroom family room.I booked the three bedroom, and what it is, is actually three beds, queen size, in one room. I brought that to the attention of the person that was checking me in. She might have thought that she was giving the correct description but I let her know that she should definitely be updating it to state it is three beds in one room. She did let me know that there is a two-bedroom, but it was taken because they were sold out. Overall, was not a bad place to stay, short walk to the beach and a very short walk to anywhere you may have wanted to go in town.

The good: - Location - Free Parking on site and on street - Bed was clean - Free WiFi The Bad: - Price - $240 for this class of property is Robert - The bed. Stiff cheap mattress and squeaky metal frame - The HVAC is LOUD - Walls are paper thin. You can hear cars outside your window and neighbors in other rooms The Ugly: - Property is run down. Toilet was loose. Cracked counter top. -They expect yoh to wash your hair with body wash as the shower only had body wash and conditioner. All in all this is $60/night territory not $250ish
