Great spot within walking distance to the town. We used it for fishing due to its proximity to the wharf and it was perfect.

Nice location!
The location is great! Easy to walk to the beach, restaurants, convenience stores etc. The unit was comfortable and the kitchenette had what we needed. We were in a lower unit and could hear the person above us, not voices, but footsteps, pulling a chair out, that sort of thing. It wasn’t a problem, but it was noticeable. If you are sensitive to that kind of thing, book an upstairs unit. We were happy with our stay.

Although the decor is a little tired, it’s a great, convenient location. The booking we had was for our family of 5, the unit was a great size, comfortable for all of us, clean and tidy. Recommend to families. Affordable and comfortable.

Blue Marlin review
Wonderful location close to town and across the street from the beach. There is parking for one car per unit. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. They do have a short check in window but they were able to leave us our key for a check in. The kitchenette consisted of a microwave and refrigerator, but no stove top. The room did get a bit bright in the morning as there were no blackout curtains over the window above the bed. Limited bathroom amenities, just body wash, shampoo and moisturizer in the shower, and nothing by the sink. The upstairs room was quiet. The room was extremely clean.
