"This is my second stay at the property and hopefully won’t be my last! You’re mere steps from the beach, they havw a lovely little area of beach items to borrow (towels, chairs, toys, ice chests, sunscreen, etc- all for no charge!) The staff makes you feel as if they’re a family running the place (and maybe they are). They’re all so friendly and helpful and accommodating. In the mornings, they serve breakfast, and you simply come downstairs walk up to a small kitchen area and they prepare you a tray at your request for you to take with you to eat in your room or outside on one of the patios. They also have free on site parking, and the rooms are meticulously cleaned. Everything is older, but well maintained."
