cozy stay near the beach

cute hostessavailable beach towelscomfortable staybeach proximity
christina was very cute upon my arrival. she offered beach towels, helpful. the room had everything i needed for a comfortable stay. the proximity to the beach was a plus, though there are many stairs.
there was only one room key available, though i was promised a second one during check-in. this made it difficult for me to do separate activities sometimes.
Location

the hotel is next to a lovely cove, providing easy access to the beach, bars, and the strip, though the surrounding area can be lively, it remains peaceful. i found the location convenient.
