The property had all of the basic necessities I needed for a fun beach weekend! I had no problem with my parking spaces. The rooms were well appointed with everything I needed. The property is clean and the area is safe. Quite little niche tucked away off the main strip. It felt very private on this beach. Walkable to all the fun and restaurants!

I liked that I could walk right out to the beach. It was a rainy week we were there but there's no way to predict that. Would come back again.

The room was not as nice as shown on the web site. Bathroom door needed planing. It had to be shut hard to close thus waking people up when going to bathroom at night. TV cable was lousy at best. Fan on AC had one low speed. No blackout curtains. Had doors adjacent to other rooms and thus could hear people in the adjacent rooms. Book at own risk.

Breakfast was very good. Elevator inoperative. Hauling luggage up and down 2 flights of stairs unacceptable. Had to walk thru 6 buildings to get to the ice machine. Towels skimpy and shabby. Pillows old and worn. No room service. Only had 2 hangers in closet. Thin walls, noisy. Same for noise from upstairs. Phone did not work .

Was my first time staying there. I was very impressed with the complex. The rooms were great. Nice breakfast available in the mornings. The walk to the beach and two pools indoor and outdoor and adjoining rooms. It was everything that I look for in a vacation spot!
