It is a nice ground floor unit. Easy in/out with luggage and right out to pool and beach. Had good outdoor furniture and the lounge chairs on the beach were an added bonus. Only slightly odd thing is that the door into the unit opens directly into bedroom. Didn’t bother us since we were all family. I’d definitely stay here again.

Overall nice stay. I’d rate the building as a three star level hotel. Beach view was obstructed by pool equipment, but the sky was big. I’m an Interior Designer so I notice such things more. But it is ON THE BEACH. The paint job wasn’t great on the walls. Rather sloppy. Missing shelf in primary bathroom. Oddly low mirror in secondary bathroom. No mirror at all in primary bedroom…could use a full length, or any really.
End unit did have extra light from side windows, which was nice.
Nice smaller building.

Disliked: Check-in
When we got there to check in it there was no one at the property and the instructions said to check in at the property. When I finally got a hold of someone they said we were to check in at the office down the road. Once we were checked in we realized there were not enough blankets for us. We were able to go by the office and they sent a message to someone who got back to us the next day with extra towels and blankets. The property overall was very clean with a ton of toiletries. Appliances all worked well. I would suggest more regular glasses or plastic glasses, than so many coffee mugs. Lots of utensils and plates/bowls. It would have been nice if there were directions for the TV system because it was a bit complicated (not sure we used it correctly). There were games to play and a small puzzle too. There was plenty of toilet paper and paper towels for the week. The king mattress was firm and comfortable. The twin mattress was firm and the pull out couch was not very comfortable for our 7 year old so he slept on the trundle under the day bed. The patio had a lot of bugs around it. The pool was small and nice but not extremely clean. LOVED the beach and the view was amazing. I feel like the location caused the price to be so high for what we got. OVERALL had a wonderful stay would come back to this area again maybe in another unit for our crew to be more comfortable.
