Some deception in a few areas. The claim of an ocean view from the unit was not true. Had to drive to the accessible beach, to far to drive with any chairs and etc. No a kitchenet, small refrigerator, coffee pot and microwave. Hot tub was not open due to it being repaired. Room had a musky smell.

This was a great place to stay. If I had to pick out anything that I think could be improved would be the TV to get local stations and the major networks instead of Roku. The host was very quick to respond to things answer any questions I had.

Good stay

My wife and I liked the room. Not many frills but parking was right outside our door and the water was right there as well. Had coffee with the local dolphin twice in three days. The room was very clean. The only downside was the location. It's fairly far off the path from most touristy things but we knew that before we booked.
