"Things I liked first. Hot water didn't run out. House stayed cool despite the raging sun outside. The beach is a block away. Very quick walk. Staff got back to me right away when I had questions. Plenty of towels and beach towels. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook on the stove. Sinkin the kitchen was Xtra large -easy for dishes to get washed. Washer and dryer on site and free- nice microwave and there was a toaster too. Kureig coffee maker with coffee supplied too! Beds were comfy....
"Overall stay was nice because on beach. Rental guy on beach was the best. Hotel and property definitely not as upgraded or nice as picture indicates.
Manager was nice and room was clean.
Mission accomplished to have a night on the beach but would not recommend if going by photo and want a longer stay than a night or two."
