Great location! Nice room. My only suggestion is to switch to non-scented cleaning products as the fabuloso smell is very pungent. Also, if you stay on the weekend the bar across the street is VERY LOUD

We only stayed one night with our two dogs. All rooms are pet friendly. My wife and I were very surprised how clean the rooms were and that’s all we really wanted. Soft bathroom towels, nice bedspread and blankets, little kitchen area. No pet hair left behind for the last visitors. We will most definitely return. Only a three minute walk to the boardwalk which was really nice.

I had a great experience during my recent stay. The room was on the smaller side, but it was thoughtfully arranged and had everything I needed. It was very clean, which immediately stood out to me. The bed was comfortable and made it easy to get a good night’s sleep. I also really appreciated the ceiling fan and window unit— it kept the room at the perfect temperature. The television was simple to navigate and having Apple AirPlay available was a huge plus and made the stay even more convenient. The only minor thing I didn’t personally love was the shampoo and conditioner provided, but that’s purely preference and does not impact my overall rating at all. Overall, I have zero complaints and would absolutely stay here again!

I didn’t realize you could walk out onto the beach until I got here. This was the perfect spot to stay. Great location we could walk to everything. The room was perfect size for my daughter and I. We loved the tiled shower. The king bed was super comfortable. The little refrigerator and microwave was perfect for us. You can hear the waves when sitting on the balcony and patio area. Thanks so much for a great visit.
