Such a great property! Communication was great leading up to our visit. We arrived a bit later and they had our room info waiting for us with no hassle. The location is awesome…quick left gets you to the beach, quick 2 minute walk gets you to the start of the restaurants and shopping. They have beach towels, chairs, coolers, the works available no charge, and are happy to help you plan tours. The room was a nice size, air conditioning was great, and a nice sized kitchen. There’s a nice small pool, and overall vibe of the place is fantastic. Would highly recommend!

Book this for your stay in the area

It’s rare for me to give such a glowing review, but this property was so much fun to stay at. It’s really steps away from the beach in one direction and steps away from the start of all the shops and restaurants in the other. The room was clean and modern, there were a ton of amenities to check out and use, and I wish we could have stayed far longer than the two nights we did. Can’t remember if all the rooms had an ocean view, but that made it more inviting.
