My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The rooms are recently updated, and ours included a queen bed, a pullout sofa, and even a Murphy bed in the second room, which worked out perfectly for our family. The kitchen was very useful for cooking meals, and the beach view was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always accommodating throughout our stay. The property also has a nice pool and relaxing lounge deck. Another big plus was the location — directly across from a park and pickleball courts, and very close to the boardwalk and bike path. We would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to coming back.
