The check-in process was super fast and friendly!!! the private beach is awesome! i enjoyed easy access to nearby restaurants! i really loved that it felt secluded. the location is great. You can walk to a grocery store right across the street.

the room was tiny, i mean REALLY tiny! it was still manageable for a short stay, but something to be aware of.

Acceptable stay with drawbacks

good locationparking spotloud ac unitinaccurate description

The location was good. I could easily walk to restaurants. I also appreciated the parking spot right outside the door.

The room was small and felt basic. The AC unit was loud and positioned directly above the bed (I could hardly sleep). I did not think the room description matched what I experienced.
