There are no services. Just a room. Kept in good condition. No beach or ocean swimming. Breakfast is atrocious. Staff would rather you just not go. Front desk was great. Especially Stacy. Quiet. New ownership and improvements. Should make a world of difference.

Great, has a kitchen in the room. Very comfortable. The beach is very nice. But you can't swim, water is too low, and don't feel safety. We enjoyed any way, very peaceful place.

Everything was perfect. Accommodated our late flight this late check in. Room was cool when we walked in which was very nice after a very humid night drive. Easy to access for parking, and the beach view was amazing. Didn’t get up early enough for breakfast and were always out too late for the dinner at the restaurant but it looked nice lol. Lovely stay thank you
