The owner Kevin is on site all the time and is very attentive, friendly and helpful. He was watering the plant beds in front of the property one day during our stay.

Kimberly, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room is simple but clean and in a great location. Worth the price — I’d definitely stay here again. Room 206 🌟
LIANA, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great view- small room but clean (other than old carpeting with stains). Appreciated the small Fridge and microwave. Would stay here again- so close to the restaurants and beach
Barbara, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Excellent location, just across the street from the beach. Love the convenience. Hard mattress, glad I brought my mattress topper. AC kept the room cool. Restaurants in walking distance. Room a good size.
Starnie, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Wish there were a couple of chairs and small table in our particular room. Other than that you had to eat, for example, breakfast or lunch sitting on the bed. The bathroom door didn’t close or open all the way without jamming into the floor.
Elaine, 3-night trip

Quiet Space

Clean and Echo Friendly!
Tammy, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good location to walk to beach and restaurants. Property could use some TLC. Although our room was newly renovated, the outdoor areas are cramped and in need of repairs. Stairs were steep and difficult for anyone over 35. Nice mini fridge, microwave, sink, etc but we didn’t stay long enough to use them.
