Great trip, took the teenagers and they had a blast being so close to the beach access and the pool. Loved that the pier was in walking distance for fishing and watching fireworks without being in a crowd.

Check in was easy, they were able to get checked in early (for a fee) which was nice. Small but sufficient parking lot. The pool was very nice and well kept. Having the beach access right there, along with a hose to spray off was really nice. Loved being so close to the pier. Definitely would stay again.

The room was clean and staff was great. The parking was the problem. The lot is tiny and only small vehicles could maneuver a parking spot without hitting another car. Only one vehicle per customer was a problem since my son drove separately. I ended up paying to park my truck on the street because of the aggravation of trying to squeeze in and out of tiny spots.
