We were very comfortable and our shared stay represented good value. ##### Christine G.

Even the old plastic plants now look depleted and depressed (in spite of the incredible beach outlook this unit has). The mattress covers too are no longer fresh and welcoming. Time to Spend a few to make a few more. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cf7250ee-530a-4b90-ab21-b6c8d72b2b48-1746568678733.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christine G.

Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa B. 25 Feb 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing beachside getaway, great view This ocean-view beachside property was a very relaxing place to stay for a few days. Equipped with just about everything we needed, it was cheerfully furnished and the bed was super comfy. Lovely to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of crashing surf! It was fairly clean overall - but we had to wash the beach side windows ourselves, (could have used a squeegee) they were smeared with fingerprints and salt air when we arrived, both outside and in. The ensuite bathroom drains were pretty black and gross, they really need a good scrub with bleach. A hook or towel rail to hang your wet bath towels would also be nice. Seriously, not complaining, just offering constructive feedback for your next guests’ benefit (can you tell we used to work in hospitality?!?) And maybe we missed it, but would have been good to know about all the stairs. Apart from these small issues we really did enjoy our stay. Thank you! ##### Melissa B.
