Okay
Well we was welcomed nicely by security guard and the office manager, she was very knowledgeable of the local area and the attractions. We enjoyed our room as well. Just the floors were nasty and the toilet ran all through the night which was loud in such a small space. We were advised to contact owner if problems were to arise, well we emailed owner of problems listed above, we were emailed back stating someone would contact property manager to take care of the running toilet and clean room, well we left the room for a while, come back the room was cleaned (thanks) but the noisy toilet was never dealt with! After we emailed several stating it was not worked on, and kept getting told someone was coming to fix, we stayed 2 days and 2 nights and no one never came. So we were not satisfied with communication and the failure to help make this stay the beat possible! :( and why have a 139$ cleaning fee when our room floor was so nasty we had to wear socks and there was hair everywhere on the floor, and we had to take out our own trash and request that you all even clean our room :( not satisfying!! Debating if ever to return or even suggest this stay to anyone!

Good place to stay if they do a few fixes
This was a nice, quiet place to stay. Great price. Extremely easy access to the beach. Great pool!!
The room and listing of the room need a few tweeks to make it better though:
*On the listing it says closet and hangers available, but when we arrived, the closet door says "Owner Use Only", so we had nowhere to hang our clothes or anything that needed to dry.
*the shower drain is very slow
*the bathroom fan doesn't work
*The toilet flapper valve needs replaced, so the toilet runs constantly and is quite annoying at night
*the left rear stove top burner doesn't work
*the checkout directions need to be streamlined--the email and text that we received had contradicting information--one said to turn the thermostat to 78 degrees and the other said 74 degrees
