Nice hidden gem. Not fancy, but clean and a great location. Staff was excellent. Had forgotten my iPad in room and they found it and kept it until I could get back for it. Complimentary coffee in office. Nice touch. Overall and excellent stay. We will return.

This was a great place to stay and would stay here again! Beautiful ocean views, very friendly & knowledgable staff, great parking & location cant be beat! Very clean & updated bathroom. The only issue was the overwhelming Pine sol odor in the room, and since it was storming we couldn't open the doors. Eco friendly (or less scent) cleaning products would be a plus!

The staff was literally delightful. They were accommodating and helpful. I was looking for the ice machine and Joe saw me looking around asked how he could help. He was in the process of changing his shoes as he was off for the day. He made sure I found the ice machine. He then asked if there was anything he could get for us before he left for the night. He was off already for the evening and ready to go but made the effort and offer without hesitation. Location is wonderful with the beach steps away and lofty coffee also steps away add the great customer service and it’s a great beach spot.
