"I knew beforehand that the building was literally attached to an abandon building however, it is so close to the beach and the lighthouse walking trail that I decided to book anyways and I am glad I did. We had no problems with any unwanted guest from the abandoned building next-door. That was our concern that we would run into people living there. It was very safe. We were even walking around well after midnight with no problem. The property itself is in great condition and it was very convenient to have a room with all the amenities that we were looking for the man at the check-in was very helpful ."
