Book this for your stay in the area

It’s rare for me to give such a glowing review, but this property was so much fun to stay at. It’s really steps away from the beach in one direction and steps away from the start of all the shops and restaurants in the other. The room was clean and modern, there were a ton of amenities to check out and use, and I wish we could have stayed far longer than the two nights we did. Can’t remember if all the rooms had an ocean view, but that made it more inviting.

By the Sea Stay

Unique facility. Had the feel of an ABNB with small kitchen resources. Very informal feel and environment as they provided many outside activity (bike, pool, coolers, etc.) which was perfect for being close to the water. Parking was available for residents; however, vehicle size could impact where you could park. Room exactly as described. Quiet. No construction going on during our stay. Could not see any construction "site" from the room or hotel. Staff made guests feel welcome, when on duty.
