"Father/Daughter owned. They were both very kind and pleasant. We were greeted daily. The room was amazing and the vibe was unmatched. It was short walk to the beach. Our dogs were welcomed. If you want a nice place to stay, with awesome hosts at affordable prices this is your stop. My wife and I will be back and our puppies too. We have been to many beaches at many hotels and this was by far the best. We look forward to going back again!!!!!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙"
