Simple, clean, and oceanfront with really personable and helpful staff. The only con to mention is that the room had that overwhelming perfumey smell to coverup cleaning solution, but it was tolerable once we let the room air out. Overall, I would recommend to anyone and plan to stay here again.

We thought this property was a great choice in this price range. It looked as if it had been newly renovated and was clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We have no complaints except that we do wish there was free breakfast offered, but the lower price did compensate for this. We would stay here again and would rate this 4 1/2 stars.

We were warmly welcomed by Rochelle's infectious smile. The direct ocean view was beautiful. The room was clean, beds and pillows comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming with our dog. It was December, so we did not make use of the pool, but it looked nice from a distance.
