The room was clean and had a comfortable bed. It could definitely use a remodel. The beach is not visible from the rooms. You have to go up and out onto the beach access which is easy enough.

Beach stay

The bad first, there wasn’t any way to change the shower water temperature and it was too hot for me! The bed was kind of lumpy and not that comfortable. Everything else was good, you’re right next to the beach and the pier. Which was the convenience I wanted.

The staff is very friendly, you get clean towels delivered to your room each morning. Private entrance for everyone, the pool was a nice size with plenty of seating, clean and well maintained. The rooms are clean, laid out well and spacious. No real complaints! The property could use an updating paint wise outside and the bathroom could use a remodel but all in all we enjoyed our stay!

You get what you pay for. Property needs TLC desperately! Beach was about 20 steps from our room. Room walls appeared to have water damage. Bed was comfortable, nice big TV. Sliver of ocean view. Bathroom was small but nice.

Great location but shabby looking room

Great location but the room smelled like a perfume factory and had no windows that could be opened. The smell got less noticeable but still lingered. The furniture was in disrepair with tears in the covering. The pool was nice.
