"We had a short one night stay, arriving at 7pm, but check in was easy. had to pay for on site parking extra $25/ night (which seems unnecessary since it was their own lot). Breakfast was very good, beds and pillows were comfortable, as well as pull out couch- though did have to ask at front desk for its bedding. Check out was 12 so we had time for an early beach outing, but they would not allow for a later checkout when I requested, saying they were too full."

"Wow! This property was exceptional - room was a 2 bedroom with king bed in one and two twins in the other (as was requested- so thankful). Kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools/utensils, plates, silverware, etc. Even had a small cooler to use. Was very spacious and so very clean!! Things I did not know - this is a vacation property and at check in the concierge will meet with you to set up a timeshare/vacation rental presentation at one of their properties. This was not something I was expecting or had time for - they were very gracious when I did not want to schedule. Only true cons (just to prep you) - (1) parking is quite a walk from where you will stay - so plan accordingly for unpacking and walking up; (2) and the location is not truly near anything like grocery store, restaurants, etc. All in all - would stay again if I were staying for a longer vacation as it is an excellent home base."
