The bed was very comfortable and I loved the fireplace. Right across the street from the ocean and a nice little boardwalk. The main restaurant in town only takes cash. The bathroom could use some updating. Definitely would stay here again

The staff was very friendly/helpful and the room was nice and clean! We loved the location and the bed was so comfortable. Would’ve been 5 stars but the ceiling fan was super dirty and there was food splatter on the wall where the trashcan was placed. I would definitely stay here again. Hopefully soon ❤️.
