This place was the best. The lobby, elevator, hallway, and room were spotless. The staff were kind, helpful, and super responsive. The bartenders at Backflip, Julie and Lynn, were amazing and took such great care of us. The beach was gorgeous and the chairs and umbrellas were set up early. Easy walking distance to restaurants and fun things to do on Commercial Street. Would return in a second.
