From the outside- it doesn’t look like much, but it is perfect for a quick get away! You are right on the beach! Rooms were clean and perfect size. The gentleman who checked us in was so sweet and kind. We will definitely be back!

While the property is older, it was clear the staff made it a priority to keep it up. The rooms had been renovated and were very nice. They are a smaller room but we spent most of our time away anyway. Parking is tight but functional. Still amazed at how many dogs were at the property and we had no issues. Beach access was so easy. The kids loved the pool, which was maintained daily. Literally can not say a bad thing about this place. Would highly recommend and would stay again!

Oceanfront. Easy checkin. Be aware. Pool not heated. Self housekeeping. Turn your towels in and get new with office or housekeeper. Set your trash out for pickup at your door. Small room but has everything you need. Great location!
