There was no one there at check-in, and the room wasn’t ready even though we arrived about an hour hour after check-in starts. The phone number to call for help was easy and she checked us in over the phone and got us into a different room and offered a discount for our next stay for the wait of getting a room ready. Overall room was very cute, clean, and in a decent location. I’d stay there again for sure.

It was fine as a place to sleep when you're not at the beach. Staff was non-existent but welcome during the pandemic. They were very good at sending detailed text instructions. The seating areas were nice to spend time at in the evening.
