Friendly place for pets, although limited areas for pets to relieve themselves. If other pets then need to share and sometimes may be an issue depending on your pet or others. Convenience to surrounding areas like beaches and restaurants

Very clean place
Very nice clean space. Bathroom very very small. No room to put things on the sink and shower was tiny. A little expensive for the space. But the people are very nice and they have a club house room with Pool table and a pool. We did not use because we were only there one night.

Chelsey was absolutely great to work with, she advised that our room was ready for check in, we had a late check in and she did exactly as she advised she was going to do. She was also attentive to us needing towels and she provided us with them after hours. I’m so pleased with the whole experience!

The only things I did not love was the bed and the ac. The bed was not to my liking comfort wise. But that’s a preference I suppose. And the ac in our room either barely worked or turned the room into a freezer. Otherwise everything about this place was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool was clean and well kept and the game room is a nice addition. Would definitely stay here again
