Pros:

The location was great and having a kitchen was awesome! It was very clean.

Cons:

The beds were very old/lumpy. I think the kitchen could use some updating as they are very old. The foil wrapped door are taped together etc.

Good communication with host. Great waterfront location. Well equipped kitchen. First morning coffee provided.

Would stay here again!
Pros:

Pretty much everything. You open your door and the ocean is right there.

Yes, the property is older and we could hear people above us sometimes, but it was clean and comfortable. Kitchenette had everything needed. Honestly, for the price it was perfect. What are you doing in your hotel room with an ocean right out your front door anyway??

Cons:

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
