Our stay went very well overall, and everything listed in the description was present upon arrival. The location is convenient and the hotel is pleasantly quiet, which we greatly appreciated. However, the room could have been cleaner — there was still toilet paper in the bowl when we arrived, which suggests a lack of attention to detail during housekeeping. Additionally, several features in the room are outdated and in need of maintenance, such as the main window blind, which was broken and let in too much light. For these reasons, I unfortunately cannot give a 5-star rating — or even 4 stars — despite the good aspects of our stay.

The mattress was comfy. Mosquitos inside. Broken shade i had to put a papertowel in it to block anyone from looking in. Shower was cracked and not clean. Pacman machine joystick didnt work. I was given the wrong code to get in and i tried calling but went unanswered. Didnt respond until i text the number. Probably wont stay here again for the $100 they charged. The photos in the listing are for another room which looks like it has been updated.

It worked for what we needed for a quick, inexpensive weekend stop, but it's a bit tight for 3 people. The owner was very kind and accommodating. The wifi was iffy, but that's an easy fix, and having Roku TV was nice. It's on the first floor beside the parking lot so we had easy access to our car, for loading and unloading luggage. It's not on the beach, but it's a short two minute drive from the beach and even closer to Asian House Chinese food, Davids Subs for breakfast, and Dollar General. I loved the location.

This place is a scam. They have you register in advance on some sketchy website, which is a big lengthy process requiring photos of yourself(??!!!) in addition to your expedia account, then they require you to add another 35 dollar fee for damages on the website that Expedia does not mention in the fees. Then no one answers questions or responds to calls. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RENTAL.
