It was a short, solo vacay, and this studio was exactly what I needed. I appreciate the use of free bikes and washer and dryer. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. It’s a short walk to a public beach at the end of the road. Super convenient!

Great find!

Bikes were a plus and the venue is cozy and quaint! Had a wonderful 2 night stay and the location was excellent to the water and also Periwinkle and businesses. Bathroom sinks are small and only one place setting of dishes in the room and no travel sized shampoo in the bathroom as advertised. WiFi was shotty.

Everything you could possibly need

I loved the place we stayed! It was newly renovated and was very comfortable. The room my daughter and I got was very tiny, but was enough room for the two of us. What I liked most was everything you needed for the beach was there for your convenience. Having bikes made things easier because depending on the time of year you go traffic can be heavy, so riding a bike helps! It’s a little over a block away to the beach so we packed the car and drove down and unloaded, then drove back to the room and got the bike and took it to the beach for parking.
