The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and the staff was very friendly. The only problem we had was the crying baby next door. It definitely put a damper on our vacation. It was difficult to fully relax.

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location was conveniently located near the ocean and a short few minutes walk to the boardwalk and pier. They boasted a kitchen, however, I learned the kitchen cleanliness was dependant on the previous guest. We had to wash all pans, utensils, etc prior to use. They also didn't have everything standard (like a spatula- which we asked for and they took from another suite). That was a turn off, personally. Additionally: read the ad! There is no AC in any of the units.

We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this property, especially for families. The apartment was spaciou, clean, and having a kitchen was very convenient. The pool was excellent, giving the kids a fun and safe place to swim and play. It’s within walking distance of the beach and offers beautiful views. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily come back.
