The staff was so nice, friendly, and helpful during our stay. We had one of the upgraded rooms, and it was super cute! It was also really convenient being able to rent beach towels, chairs, and other beach items right at the hotel. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back.

This was a pleasant, quiet stay. It didn’t have the amenities of a larger resort (no on-site dining/bar, smaller but very kind staff, limited parking). So, it’s more geared towards lower key travelers. The staff was very kind and the location was great.

This was an amazing room with a view of the ocean across the street. It had a king size comfortable bed, mini fridge, and a microwave. Everyone was friendly. It is 13 minutes from the airport so very convenient. Down the street was local shops, restaurants, and more. We found a gem of a place full of food trucks. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

I recently stayed at this property during my vacation and had a wonderful experience. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. One of the highlights of my stay was the peaceful atmosphere and the attention to detail that made the experience enjoyable. The amenities were as advertised, and everything contributed to a relaxing and memorable vacation. You will definitely need transportation, few miles away are great foods,and a market area. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would gladly return in the future.
