We only stayed for one night there due to power failure at the property. On Christmas eve afternoon, half of the unit lost power. The fridge was turning on and off every second. The microwave and the stove were all out. Luckily the management company was able to move us to another nearby unit or else we would not be able to make our Christmas dinner. Overall the unit seems ok except the power issue.

Fun and convenient
This is a perfect location. Easy to find off the main road and a couple blocks from the beach. The place was super clean with lots of towels and bedding. All the appliances worked and we had everything we needed to cook. I would stay here again!
