This was a lovely, quiet stay for my daughter and I which is just what we needed. The ocean is right across the street, restaurant on site, laundry service available, and a little store as well. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The seating area around the pool is well maintained and surrounded by lawn. Beautiful grounds and good parking. We will definitely be back.
