Our room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen area was well supplied. The balcony provided a lovely view of the dunes and ocean. A beach-themed decor in the room was a perfect choice for the setting. The front-desk staff was at all times welcoming and accommodating. We look forward to returning.

The room was clean and they had all the necessities and then some. Staff was friendly. Great price. The mattress wasn't amazingly comfortable but we still slept fine. The only downside we experienced was that the trail to the beach was super muddy and was blocked by logs and debris. The trail itself may not be part of the hotel property so maybe they aren't responsible for maintaining it??
