"We received a room upgrade due to being assigned the wrong room upon arrival. The room was brand new and large with a comfortable bed and huge bathroom. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant meals were excellent with good portions. And the pool with the swim up bar was a welcome treat.

"Great place and even better people! The room was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was great as well as it was only a short walk to everything including the airport. I will definitely stay here again. "

"This property is a clean, well-maintained oceanside location with a living area, kitchen, and separate bedroom.
We had a great view of the bay through the sliding glass door. There was also a patio with a table, sofa, and hammock chair. It was a great place to relax and spend time outside without ever leaving the property.
Further down the pier, we also had access to another sitting area and hammocks. This part of the property is shared with a few other units. There are also bikes, kayaks, and paddleboards for rent.
There is a grocery store and a couple of outdoor restaurants close by, and a taxi ride to town is only $1 US from here.
The property manager also went above and beyond to find and return something to me that I left behind. This was no small feat since we had already left the area and she had to ship it to me. Her helpfulness and resourcefulness were greatly appreciated.
Here are a couple of things to note about staying here:
1. Make sure that you understand exactly which unit you will be staying in. There are four or five units here, and each one has a different view and amenities. It is clearly shown in the listing; just pay close attention.
2. It seemed like a quiet property at first, but there was very loud music on the weekend. This could be an isolated instance because there aren't any bars close by. There was a special event at the beach across the road from us, so that could have been it. "
