Great Location, but Room Issues
Pros:

The location is very convenient, just a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants, bars, and a convenience store. Elvia at the front desk stood out for her professionalism and genuine care, which made a positive difference during our stay.

Cons:

We experienced an issue with the shower, as the water temperature was impossible to regulate and would switch between extremely hot and very cold. Although a handyman came the next day and replaced some parts, the problem was not resolved, and the repair process itself was inconvenient as we could not properly use the room during that time.

Cute and comfy room, close to beach!
Pros:

Staff was friendly, room was small but comfy, had everything needed for our stay. Beach is nice, close and walkable, pool is large, courtyard area quiet. Bathroom is small but adequate, shower is large. Kitchenette is nice with farm sink, two burner, cooktop, toaster, plates, glasses and Keurig coffee maker. Bed is super comfy with nice pillows, TV a little hard to maneuver but fine Everything overall was great and would stay again!

Cons:

a decent shelf and hooks in bathroom would help with space for towels and toiletries. Everything else was great!

Sehr erholsam und wunderschön
Pros:

Tolle Lage mit kurzem Fußweg zum Meer.
Am Strand „vergünstigte“ Liegen und Schirme, wenn man den Namen der Unterkunft nennt.
Schönster Strand auf ganz Florida!
In der Nähe Geschäfte und Restaurants. Alles zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Tischtennisplatte und viele Sitzmöglichkeiten im Innenhof.

Cons:

Der Innenhof bietet quasi keine Privatsphäre.

Pros:

Jen, Paul & Mike (on property) -- and Brian (off-property, after-hours help) -- staff were fantastic, and the room layout was ideal. Loved being a short walk from the beach.
