"The good. Only 6 units so it kept a nice mellow vibe for our 6 night stay. They planted numerous palm trees along the oceanfront providing shade and a tropical scene. It's dog friendly, which has its pros and cons, but we enjoyed it. Cons. It may be just me. But I felt venerable. The doors to the units are closed with a wood latch. The 2 staff that handle the room cleaning and ground are gone by early afternoon and the young lady living in the front seemed gone a lot. Virtually no...
