The property looks brand new and the rooms are extremely comfortable and well put together with great decor and conveniences. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Just steps from beach and Dewey Post across the street.
The Staff was excellent, have never felt so welcomed. The room was beautiful and clean, the pictures online do not do it justice. The place was recently renovated and you could tell. Location was perfect, the truck never had to move was able to walk to great bars and a great beach. Highly highly recommended
Property was great and recently redone. Staff was very friendly and its in a great location. Only slight thing is the walls are a little thin but its quiet at night.
We really enjoyed our stay, we loved the relaxed beach vibe and decor. We had a minor problem on arrival but it was quickly dealt with. Parking is easy and check in was a breeze.
