Great location to the beach! The room and house itself were nice and clean. There was free water, pop, and snacks for guests which was nice. I didn’t have an issue but I could see if you’re claustrophobic or a bigger human the bathroom may not be ideal for you.

This room was definitely good for its reasonable price! Room was clean, check in smooth, and close to both the boardwalk and downtown. Could use some upgrades like a window ac unit and some more insulation, or thicker curtains to block outside noise.
