Lovely Experience
helpful staff ideal location
The staff went out of their way to help retrieve my son's forgotten phone. Their assistance was invaluable. The location proves ideal, as it is not too far from the beach. I found the owners to be lovely and helpful people.
I noticed thin walls, so I could hear other guests shouting at times. This. I recommend soundproofing to prevent such disturbances.

adequate stay
friendly staff family room good location pillow smell four person
The staff was very friendly and cute. I stayed in the family room and, wow, it was great. The location was good (i liked being near the beach). For the price, you can't complain.
I booked a room. Upon arrival i only had a four person room available. I asked for an additional pillow, and i received a musty smelling pillow (it had been kept in their storage).
