Great location! Nice room. My only suggestion is to switch to non-scented cleaning products as the fabuloso smell is very pungent. Also, if you stay on the weekend the bar across the street is VERY LOUD

We only stayed one night with our two dogs. All rooms are pet friendly. My wife and I were very surprised how clean the rooms were and that’s all we really wanted. Soft bathroom towels, nice bedspread and blankets, little kitchen area. No pet hair left behind for the last visitors. We will most definitely return. Only a three minute walk to the boardwalk which was really nice.

The room was clean and even had a broom for me to sweep up sand! You can tell the property was build in the 60s or 70s but has been renovated and is very cute. The location is perfect- right on the boardwalk and beach. Plus it was close to shopping and many restaurants. Our only complaint was the tiny shower with a shower head that is too big. We had to stand against the shower wall to get wet! But we will definitely stay here again.
