Beach stay

The bad first, there wasn’t any way to change the shower water temperature and it was too hot for me! The bed was kind of lumpy and not that comfortable. Everything else was good, you’re right next to the beach and the pier. Which was the convenience I wanted.

The rooms are clean, laid out well and spacious. No real complaints! The property could use an updating paint wise outside and the bathroom could use a remodel but all in all we enjoyed our stay!

Great location but shabby looking room

Great location but the room smelled like a perfume factory and had no windows that could be opened. The smell got less noticeable but still lingered. The furniture was in disrepair with tears in the covering. The pool was nice.
