The room was filthy. The shower curtain had red mold, hair, and whiskers in the sink and the bathtub. The fire alarm was disconnected. I had to change the sheets on the bed, and there was a blood stain on the mattress, and it was filthy.

The property is in terrible disrepair. The young man in the office was nice & helpful. The stairs were dangerously falling apart. The bed was comfortable & clean for huge most part, except one pillow was questionable. My husband did see a roach in the early morning hours. There was an extremely dirty coffee pot but no cups or coffee. The view was gorgeous at sunrise. Fajitaville next door was a great spot. We would not stay there again.

While it's not a fancy place, it is a nice spot for what we needed. It was easy access to the beach and allowed for us to go back and forth to our room with our child who has medical needs. We would stay here again for the convenience.
