Cute, quaint, large and well-equipped space. Complete with kitchenette and a nice size shower and bathroom. It's everything you need, very clean, nice area, close to beaches and restaurants. We really enjoyed it! My only issue is the bed. The mattress was firm and it hurt my hips. I would recommend a memory foam topper that could be removed for those who like firm mattresses and also accommodate people like me who prefer more cushion.

There are a few issues that we found. 1. The bunk safe is not steady. The bed is falling apart. 2. The sofa is not a sofa bed. Therefore our son won't be able to sleep in there. 3. The cigarette smell is overwhelming. We are allergic to cigarette.

We were given a room that is NOT like the pictured room. It was the only room behind 5 other rooms. We are 85 years old and in order to step up to the commode and shower there was a 14" step which would be impossible for my wife. There was no vanity and if you wanted to shave, etc. you had to use a bar sink in the bedroom. My wife was texted that the room was ready when we originally checked in. There was no responsible person on the premises except what appeared to be a workman and it took about 5 minutes to open the door because he couldn't get it open. Even though this room was prepaid WE DID NOT STAY THERE! I am contacting my credit card for a refund.

Mediocre
The room wasn’t ready when we arrived 20 minutes before check in time. We had other plans so we sat in room on couch until our scheduled appt. when we arrived later evening room was ready and clean. However there was no soap for bathing and no wash cloths. Just a night of sleeping was all we had there. Good to rest your body while vacationing but nothing I’d want to hang out at during the day!

Horrible service. Office locked, Crazy code system that locked us out of the room. Had to sleep somewhere else. Owner said to go to Expedia to get our money back. I don't know how to do that. The office was always locked, no one there but cleaner people.
