Right on the beach! Beautiful location.The room we were in was right on the dunes. The higher floors had a beautiful view of the water. First floor is not high enough to see over the dunes. Staff was great, breakfast was good. Only complaint was lack of sound proofing between floors. The guest above us apparently checked in at 3 am, we could hear every door shut, foot step, toilet flush, rolling suitcase, etc. Sounded like they were in the same room with us. The building appeared to be new, so that was surprising.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We reserved a room with a kitchenette. They don’t supply any dishes, bowls, cutlery, dish soap, or knives for prepping. The kitchenette was pretty useless. We couldn’t clean anything that we used unless we bought dish soap. We couldn’t prep anything. The rooms were not clean at all. Our feet and socks were black with dirt just from walking across the floor. The beds were never changed during our stay. The towels had black hairs and stains on them. There was a black handprint on the back of our restroom door. Would not recommend this property unless you’re staying one night and don’t care about cleanliness.
