"The place was amazing. Truly, 150 yards from the beach. The pool was clean and big enough for several families to enjoy the pool at the same time.The only suggestion that I made during my midday check-in… Not a check-in, but really they check in with the Guest to see how your day is going, was that each room should have a broom and dustpan so you can sweep up the sand at the end of the day.Perfect place to stay and we will stay there if we were in surf city again."
