Unbelievable views! Our room was a little long in the tooth but my parents room was nice! These are all independently owned so you never really know what you’re going to get. Even though ours was older, it absolutely was clean! The majority of the staff here are outstanding as well! Easy walk to restaurants and shops at Whalers Village. Will definitely be back!

The Murphy bed was very comfortable. The room spacious and clean. Beautiful view of the beach from the lanai, which also overlooked a beautiful Koi fish pond. I loved that the sun was not directly on the lanai. At least during October..Would love to stay in the same unit.
