Overall Score5.0/ 5
Big rooms, that are clean and even have a balcony. Within walking distance to the beach (1.1 miles away). Friendly staff and cool outdoor atmosphere just outside the lobby with a fireplace and plenty of places to sit and interact with friends and family after a long day of enjoying beach life. Highly recommended!
