"I really loved the convenience to the beach and Restaurants. Property was very clean, very friendly staff too. The only thing is that the bed was too closed to the door, so not too much space to walk around the room, but it had everything needed. Also, the mattress could use an update. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much!"
