Property was amazing. We loved the location and the balcony. Something that was a bit odd to me is that you need to be at least 25 to stay here, which I guess is to each their own, but we were almost turned down if it weren’t for the fact that we live in Maine and are nurses.

Staff that checked me in wasn’t the friendliest. Experience with others was great. Room was clean, bed was comfy and AC was strong. Had a 1st floor unit which didn’t allow a great beach view, but access to the beach was super easy. Being right next to Crystal Pier and one of my fave restaurants was a great perk.

The bed was sooo comfy, like bed the kitchen and living area, and a beautiful view of the ocean. The front desk was friendly, and I think the easiest check I can recall. Great place to stay!
