The front desk was polite and helpful. I reserved a single for my brother-in-law. The room was around $290. His AC didn't work. He slept in stuffy room and I think if you pay that much, you should have a functioning AC in August. Felt cheated.

Liked: Cleanliness
Such a gem! Staff was friendly and helpful. We loved that they had beach gear to borrow- we took advantage of that every day of our stay with the beach being walkable distance. The only thing that was negative was a horrible smell coming from the bathroom drains. They explained there was sometimes a backup issue due to the property being so close to the ocean- and did what they could to fix the issue but it was super bad. I’m not that squeamish and gagged multiple times. Though lessened after they cleaned the drains, the smell stayed the rest of our stay which was a big bummer!
