Our stay was wonderful - Access to the beach was excellent. The room had everything we needed.
Pros:

The fireplace was wonderful after walking the beach on a crisp, slightly rainy, Fall evening.

Cons:

We only planned to stay for one night. I wish we could have stayed longer but our schedules didn't accommodate that.

Great location - lots of space - check to be sure your room has beach view (if you want one)
Pros:

Nice location - close to the northern hub in town and steps to the beach.
We faced the street but had a little fenced garden where we sat and read.
Nice to have a small kitchen with full stove. Would stay again.

Cons:

We didn’t realize we didn’t have a sea view from the room or yard (maybe it was posted in description but didn’t see it). It’s typical beachhouse vibe - comfy but a little worn after a long season. Bed was comfy though.

Ocean view stay
Pros:

Right on the beach with an ocean view! The location of this apartment was just perfect. We could walk directly to the beach and into town as well. I highly recommend the Insomnia cafe for coffee in the morning and the Smokehouse for dinner (try the cheese curds)!

Probably last time we'll stay here, despite having done so many times over the years.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Being moved to a smaller, less equipped studio and charged more. Clerk said it was because of the view. We had the same view in the previous room we were moved to. It was less money, bigger and much better equipped.
WI-FI in room virtually unusable due to extended wait times. As a result, the TV was also unusable since signal is streamed.

Great view, excellent location, but pricey for what you get!
Pros:

Location and view were outstanding!

Cons:

Very small bed. Can't believe you call that a queen. For over 1,300 dollars fore 3 nights I expected a larger room and bigger bed.
