Disliked: Amenities
Gentlemen at front desk did not make me feel very welcome. … Almost implying that we were going to damage something … Uncomfortable. Room was extremely cute and comfortable but shower/tub is dated and there is no place to hang towels … Toilet is beyond loud and nearly shakes the plant on top of the tank clear off … Not enough light in bathroom and light on balcony doesn’t appear to shut off … Unfortunately need more usable outlets on window side of bed … No idea what WiFi code is …

Great place!

Everything was great! We loved the location close to the ocean. The sunset was beautiful, and hearing the sound of the ocean waves was soothing! The food at Porthole down the street was excellent.
