Hidden gem

This place is really a hidden gem… It is super quiet and secluded, which I really like… The breezeway leads directly to the pool which leads directly to oceanfront you can’t ask for much more than that… And the staff was awesome. Every single person we encountered was great

2/10 Poor

I didn’t have the best experience.

Staff wasn’t the friendliest, didn’t have the type of room I reserved available, so they downgraded my room with nothing besides a shrug. The Main Street is loud and you hear cars and motorcycles racing by all night.
David, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

NOT pet friendly, not friendly at all!

Property description says pet friendly but upon check in was told cats are banned from their hotel and was told my reservation would be cancelled and no refund given even though I was denied a room since I had a cat!
