It was remodeled and clean inside. The staff was helpful and friendly. We loved the view and enjoyed sitting on the balcony enjoying the ocean view.

This is a very small property within walking distance of the beach, that is a nice perk. We had a room with the kitchenette on the bottom floor. Very limited supplies for cooking and only 1 burner works at a time, 2 pans and no pot included. No kitchen towels, paper towels, or extra garbage bags included. Very thin walls, you can hear neighbor conversations and trains at night. Apparently the cleaning staff turned the fridge off before we arrived so all our frozen food went bad overnight, it was all cold when we arrived. The staff showed zero concern about our food being ruined. The shower head had zero water pressure, no stopper for a bath option and the toilet was running our entire trip. Small upgrades would make the stay much better, feels run down and not well taken care of.

Lovely view of the beach, short walk to shops and food. Note: Very loud trains nearby (passenger and freight I think).
