8/10 Good
"The place is like renting a condo. We had stayed last year for a week. So we had an idea of what we were going to have for this stay. We had a first floor unit with kitchen and living room of which we requested. If you don’t request a first floor unit the second floor units have a lot of steps in order to reach units. For most part, we enjoyed our stay. Like I said it’s like a condo as the people above you or next to you if they’re loud. But for most of the time it’s very peaceful. A park lot across from the beach is great."

"Older facility. No elevator which made it difficult to get to my second floor room. Steps need some kind of safety treads. Overall clean . Bathroom was small. Air conditioning not rhe best. No room circulation. Maintenance issues. Direct access to beach was nice. But my room had no beach view. Pool was clean and refreshing. No phone in room to speak directly to front desk. Breakfast was basic. Very few options for hot food. Probably won't return."
