The description said there was a separate seating area room and it was a suite so that’s why I paid “more” money so just get the regular “upgrade” instead of the “suite” because it’s the same thing . They also charged for late check out . Other than that, it was OK.

The ocean view was amazing. Walk to restaurants and beaches. We had beautiful weather. We read about the stairs and steps throughout the house and deck but I wouldnt bring my 90 year old mother again although she really enjoyed her time there.
