Loved staying in unit 123!! 2 balconies, fireplace and nice kitchen. There are no utensils or plates in the suite so plan accordingly if you bring food or take out. The main bedroom can be noisy at night but I was fine with my fan and sound machine. The views and location make up for the noise!! The staff were accommodating, courteous and very kind!

It's a low maintenance vacation. Not a 5 star experience, it's all about location. Bring ear plugs to sleep. And expect to have sand everywhere. Enjoy the beach life

I didn't know this was the "colorful" property I had once seen before when picking up a relative from the area a few years back. It's extremely close to the beach and close to the downtown area (restaurants and shops/boutiques), convenient to walk to. I would not recommend #133, as this is at the corner and riddled with foot traffic and folks gathering for too many selfies. (It fits seen to have the only cool-looking door though, with a pelican on it. 😆) I appreciated the opportunity to check in early ($30 fee). I was aparri made aware of the same fee for optional late check-out of 1pm, which is 2 hours beyond regular check-out. So if you want to grab breakfast before leaving the property and having to pay for public parking, this is a viable option. The fishing pier is within walking distance as well, with a boat/bait/fishing pole shop near the end of it. All-in-all, the hotel receptionist was kind (once I explained I was told I could check in early by evening receptionist and not demanding it on the spot) and provided information about the area and some things to do. In fact, they were the reason we went to Shadowbrook for lunch the following day, which was magnificent. Definitely plan on renting from here in the near future. Thanks again!

Day trip to the beach

My Aunt and I wanted to do a trip to the ocean, as I'm from WI and a lot of my family is from CA. This is her favorite oceanside place to go. I was so happy to find this place. We loved it!! I see people talking about the smell... You're a minute from the beach! It's going to smell beachy, like there's seaweed that's floated up getting bad from time to time. Expect that. Don't be so judgemental. It's a phenomenal place, lil apartment feel, amazingly comfortable bed with odd big blinds that open up into the "living room"? We loved the uniqueness!! Thank you! We will be back again! ❤️

The property was nice and clean. The beach is conveniently near by and shopping and restaurants where also near by. The only thing we had to bring our own cookwar, dishes and utensils. Other than that we really enjoyed it.

For the money paid for the room it is definitely not worth it. The property is very dated and it wasn’t very clean as well. Only reason we stayed there is because it’s convenient to the nearby dining and shopping otherwise would not stay there again. Be advised there’s a lot of restriction as to what you can and cannot do on the property.
