Pros:

After a horrible night at our first stop we came here. Where the staff was just great. I forgot her name but I know it starts with a T. She was so great sweet and nice. Made my family and me feel welcomed and she did exactly as she said she would do. I most definitely recommend this place. Actually planning my next vacation here!! Thank you guys for my family's fishy vacation spot to be something special and to remember

Pros:

Loved the location,

Cons:

The toilet ran a lot unless we cut the water off. The room door hinge wasn't tight so we had to lift the door a bit to shut it.

Good enough place for a night or two.
Pros:

The view from the room was really nice as was the easy access to the beach. The bedding was pretty clean.

Cons:

The shower wasn't super clean nor was the floor, and the main door was not airtight. The TV could also use an update. There was also no rug by the door to cut down on the amount of the sand tracked into the room.
