Loved our stay! The perfect place to take our granddaughters for a mini vacation. Only issue really was going for the breakfast. One of the ladies there was rude. We saw her for the first two mornings and on the third decided we didn’t want another interaction with her so didn’t go. Other than that it was reasonably priced and right on the beach

Hidden gem

This place is really a hidden gem… It is super quiet and secluded, which I really like… The breezeway leads directly to the pool which leads directly to oceanfront you can’t ask for much more than that… And the staff was awesome. Every single person we encountered was great

Not impressive from the street but nice sized rooms. We had a kitchenette that was sufficient….but no cups, plates, etc. I understand why, but that would have been nice. Other than that, no carpets which is perfect because no breeding bacteria. Dog friendly. We are staying again on our way home

I didn’t have the best experience.

Staff wasn’t the friendliest, didn’t have the type of room I reserved available, so they downgraded my room with nothing besides a shrug. The Main Street is loud and you hear cars and motorcycles racing by all night.

We stayed for 5 days in one of the apartments. It was quiet and close to the beach. The beach was not crowded and water was clam. The room wasn’t the cleanest so we bought some cleaning supplies and a broom. And if you need cooking supplies you have to go to the office and get them.
