The kitchen was fully stocked, the beach view was superb. Very easy access to the beach. The only concern for anyone going is the parking, the spots are a little tight to get into. I understand the building is built that way but it is hard to maneuver.

Great place to stay there is an issue in the hallway bathroom. The light cover above the mirror has a black wire for the light sandwiched between the cover and the wall easy to see. Could lead to a fire if not repaired.
