This little efficiency was perfect for our family of 4. Much like a hotel room, but with a small kitchen and utensils. We had no issues at all. Close to the beach, clean, safe area. Will definitely be back! ##### Allison Y. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Lois 24 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication When I go to the beach I do not seek out, "posh," lodging but I do want it to be safe, easy to access, relatively clean, easy to check in and out of and pleasant. We started as a group of three ladies for a girl's beach trip and grew to four, and we all had room and there were enough towels, wow! I would bring your own fuzzy blanket. Believe me, you will want it because the bedding is not plush. The pool is fantastic. The grounds well kept with plenty to do on them including out door dining. I will most likely stay here again unless a better option is available for a lesser price. I find it a good alternative to a near by beach lodge that charges almost the same amount, for less accommodations BESIDES a short and easy walk to the beach. You are still close enough to access that lodge's restaurant and bar when ever you wish to so breakfast is just nearby. ##### Lois Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### RICARDO M. 24 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### could have been better Con's Needed paint work patched walls, couch Needed cleaning, stove burners weren't level when cooking .Pro's comfortable beds,cool ac , cold fridge, nice area,clean pool, close to beach, close to shopping, ##### RICARDO M.

A patch in the sheet rock needed painting. Broken glass top on the bedside table. Shower plumbing was not secure. Also could not work the cable, no instructions. Had Wi-Fi easily enough. But it was clean. Pool was great to jump in after day at the beach.
