Would recommend to anyone traveling to this destination.
Pros:

The courtyard area with the grill and the gazebo and fire pit are awesome. The rooms are very clean and spacious if you have a family. The fridge is a little bigger which is great. Beds are comfortable.

Cons:

Could use hooks for towels and more shelves in the updated shower, other than that it was excellent.

Great stay, and would stay there again!
Pros:

The location was great. Easy access to a small semi-private beach area. Minutes away from shopping and dining. The room was comfortable and decorated nicely. Sitting areas on the property were available. The owner was super friendly and made herself available for questions.

Cons:

Lacking just a few small amenities: towel hook by the sink, maybe a hook on the door in the bathroom, chairs or towels available for the beach, other beach/water supplies.

Pros:

Location was great room was clean.

Cons:

Air conditioning filter wasn't clean so I cleaned it. Toilet seat wasn't secure. If I had a screw driver I could have fixed that too. Asked for more towels and had the clean room sign out never got either one.
