9.6/10 Exceptional! (45 reviews)

The room was exactly as shown, plenty of room to stretch out and we especially loved the end unit. Steps from the beach and shelling was perfect! Grounds were raked each morning with umbrellas taken down each day. Nice cushions on the lounge chairs, deck furniture and the beach towels were nice & fluffy. A great lil refrigerator, we would have liked a coffee maker, rather than a cappuccino and the coffees offered were strong. No microwave. Bathroom with a lovely rain-head was favorable. We definitely recommend and it is located in a desirable area.
