This is the cutest hidden gem. The entire property is darling and perfect for a little trip because it is walking distance to all the restaurants, bars, and shops. The pool is nice and the ocean front view is amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Pipes were loud. Unfriendly check on staff. Hair in sheets and bathroom. Only blinds no black out curtains. Wi-Fi was so so. Overgrown bushes/weeds blocking part of water view. Beds were uncomfortable, felt like springs poking and huge dips in mattresses. Other guest(?) smoking weed, cussing, drinking, sleeping in their wrecked car all day making comings and going of other guest uncomfortable. We loved the beach, pool, and location. Housekeeping staff were nice and helpful.
