Nice to have the kitchen to make meals during our stay. Great to walk out right to the beach. The first night we were there was Valentine’s Day and the bar next door was loud pretty late, but the rest of our stay we were not bothered by noise at all. A little dated but clean and comfortable, and spacious. Lots of restaurants/coffee shops, and a grocery store very close by.
