    Unfortunately, my stay was very disappointing due to the lack of assistance when I needed it most.

    Unfortunately, I did not have a positive experience during my stay.

    I lost my key around 9 PM and there was no one available to provide assistance or a solution. I had to call a locksmith myself in order to get back inside. I found it very disappointing that there was no emergency support available for an issue like this

    Great place with barely a 2 minute walk to the beach

    Thoughtful accommodations in so many ways. Larger refrigerator with a real freezer, comfortable outdoor furniture like what you find on a cruise. Supplies!! Pool toys, a wagon whether for the beach or loading and unloading, very handy and a very nice rooms updated really well. Again thoughtful supplies, extra covers, linens, well done!

    Clean and comfortable room

    My daughter and I have been here before and loved it. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We came early on check in day, which we were planning to go on the beach before checking in. But it was so rainy with no chance to letup. We asked if there was anyway to check in early, and they were so gracious to allow us to check in hours early. Thank you so much for making our stay special. We were there to celebrate my daughters’ 37th birthday.
