Rooms very clean, STRONG AC which was amazing. Staff was super friendly. They offer alot too, towels, beach equipment, games etc. They offer live music and a movie night where owner? (Super nice dude) asks guests what movies they should play so thats pretty thoughtful of them in my opinion. Easy parking was a big bonus too, zero regrets staying here. I only have two downsides to this place but it doesnt change the 5 star review. The breakfast was a little meh... just some bagels, muffins, ceral and yogurt with fruit. Nothing crazy? But hey, it got the job done and tasted fine so again, not a complainer just my own personal opinion on it. The other thing im just personally complaining about is the pool size, its pretty small, and only 3 feet deep. But it got the job done when it was hot, and we needed a dip(theres a thing called the ocean anyway so dont knock this place over the pool size). Over all excellent stay. The owner remebered it was my girlfriends birthday the next day after we were talking to him and we were unexpectedly given a bottle of some wine! I highly recommend this, even as a couple of younger 20 year olds this was a great stay.
