It was a very quaint property right on the beach. Lots of great places to sit and view the ocean. Great staff! Free coffee in the morning and free popcorn in the afternoon! Loved it!
Great sitting area with rocking chairs!

The view is stunning from room 142, I can't speak for the other rooms. The property is very close to Walmart, Top Golf, and Pier Walk. There is a splash pad and pool for very little kids. The do have another pool for older children and adults. The room was clean and has basic necessities. They clean the room everyday and replenish towels and wash cloths. I do wish they had a broom in the room to sweep up if something is spilled or to sweep up sand. I was a little noisy because our bedroom was closest to the road, however that would not deter me from staying again. Staff was very nice and accommodating.
