Curio Bay Salt House Motel
"A good basic 2 bedroom apartment, well-appointed, with a great view of the bay and direct access to beach (easier going down than returning). However, there are no windows that open (apart from bathroom, not sure about a window above the bed). No source of outside air. We slept poorly because of this. The room became stuffy (and this in the spring, admittedly a warm day). The only ventilation is from the doors, although leaning them open would challenge security and expose the flat to insects and other critters."
