8/10 Good
"Their staff didn't make me feel welcome. I had to ask the receptionist "How are you doing?" And the lady dared to simply say "I'm okay", and then I had yo ask if she could help me me check in. The room look deteriorated, the floor planks were loose, the pain looked old, etc. Great location though."

"Great location! Our family loved our time here. The kitchen is well stocked with good cooking appliances and utensils. Tons of beach toys for the kids! Outdoor shower is wonderful to get clean. The stairs inside are a little steep so keep in mind for you get children or older folks. The grandparents had to stay in the main floor bedroom for this reason."
