We read some previous reviews that were not so good and thought we'd arrive and see for ourselves. Everything was perfect. Glad we weren't dissuaded. Clean, room was spacious. Only complaint, no tissues or tissue boxes in room. Very convenient location. Casablanca Cafe was right up the street for a late night nightcap.

The customer service was great. The unit looked clean and organized but we woke up for more than 10 roaches in our unit and we continued to find baby ones crawling around throughout our stay. The is parking but VERY limited(like max can fit 8 cars) however that was our only complaints. Other than that we loved it here. Especially since it was a two min walk from the beach and walking distance from food and drinks.

The price point that close to the ocean was pretty inexpensive. The Casablanca restaurant right down the street is amazing.
