The room was nice for a one night stay. It had a toaster and rice cooker in the room with a few dishes. Our room had 2 beds for 3 plus a couch. It was right across from the water, there was a BBQ available for use, and a short walk to all the restaurants and grocery store in town. We would stay again!

Location and views were great. Facilities in the room were appropriate. However, the shower was reallllllly slow, just not enough water and pressure, took way too longer for showers. Other than that, it was great experience staying there.
