"I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this room is. I booked it because it's right on the beach. It was so nice to walk up a set of stairs and be there. I didn't expect a stove or coffee pot in the rooms. But there was also charcoal for a community grill. We never really saw any staff, but all the info we needed was sent by email. The beds were small, but clean and comfortable. The numbered parking stalls were nice, too. I would highly recommend this place for an economical room on the...

8/10 Good
"It’s right on the water but houses different views. We booked a 2 queen dune room and found it comfortable but the bathroom is very small. The staff were great and it offers a nice little breakfast. The walkway to the beach is smooth enough to pull a cart or walk. The gazebo gives a great view of the ocean and the convenience of two pools was even a plus. Lots of small shops and places to eat near by. We would stay again."
