The property is beautiful. Our room was a great size and contained all we could ask for. The bed was super comfy and everything was clean. We found the staff to be very friendly. The one miss for the property is the lack of anti-slip strips or a grab bar in the bath/shower combo. I would hate for someone to fall.

We booked a couple of rooms as we were having a huge family party in town. This place is very very nice! Very clean! Not what we expected! The service was impeccable along with the cleanliness! We couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant place to stay. I would highly recommend this place for anyone. And love the center courtyard and there is a place to sit outside and relax!

    Location is excellent for the beach and restaurants. Staff were exceptionally friendly, particularly Brian, who checked us in. Beds very comfortable and even though the room overlooked the highway, noice was minimal. Breakfast was very good(particularly the omelette) with a good selection.
