My son & I spent 3 nights and had a great stay. Loved the location as it was safe & quiet, yet close to all area attractions. Great beach, pools, gym, hot tub & sauna! Appreciated the beach chairs and towels, along with kitchen & bath supplies. Great size for an efficiency unit. James kept in contact & we had no issues. Can't wait to return!
