Location was great. Short walk to beach. Great view. The room was small, which I knew , but the layout could be improved with minimal effort. No space at all to cook / prepare anything. Shower too low ( need to bend over if over 5’5”).

Location is great

Property was convenient to beach access and local shopping. Semi private beach, so it wasn’t overly crowded. The only problem with the stay was we only had 1 towel and 1 wash rag for 2 people and housekeeping wouldn’t answer their phone. Other than that we enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Get Away

This was just what we needed for a quick getaway. The view is beautiful, and we could ride our bikes to restaurants and shops. The description was accurate, the bed was comfortable, and it was quiet in the evenings. The amenities were basic but all you needed, we cooked one meal in and ate out the rest of the weekend.

Not what expected

Listing stated that it is an an old motel that has been renovated. We reserved two nights. Shortly after we arrived, I contacted the host to say we were not pleased with the unit and would not be able to stay the second night. If I had not worked all that day, and drove almost 2 hours to get there (arriving after 8:30) I would not have stayed the one night. We checked out the next morning. They were kind enough to refund us the second night fee.

Great beach!

The room was clean, but quite small. I would recommend it for two people. Three would be quite cozy. There is a great view of the beach and chairs outside on the deck to have your morning coffee. The stretch of beach was quiet and uncrowded. We enjoyed our stay.
