Room was clean and spacious although the property is a bit confusing with booking having the motel and cottages separated. The walls are thin and were next to families which hindered sleep until late but overall it was fine for the price.

The cottage was great with air conditioning and was clean. Having a dishwasher was great and a well stocked kitchen and a BBQ. Location was awesome for beaches and outdoor activities. We were missing a shower curtain and the kids playground area was a little tired but it worked for the kids. Overall, would stay again
