- "Everything was good " - "Absolutely wonderful. Exceptional service and assistamce. " - "Very good!" - "Wonderful stay" - "Wow, absolutely beautiful hotel, excellent staff, great food. You cannot go wrong here." - "Went for a staycation the hotel was just lovely " - "The check in process was the only positive thing about this hotel. We had originally planned to stay here for 5 nights, but after the first night we checked out. I found someone’s shareware hung over the shower, hair in the bathtub, so I assume the bathroom was not cleaned at all after the last quests had been there. One of the beds did not have a sheet fully covering the mattress, which was disgusting to see. I also got woken up around 9:30 or 10:00 PM by people yelling and slamming the door next to us. This went on for about an hour and when I called the front desk they told me it was because someone had just checked in next to us. The next morning when I looked at the door, it wasn’t for a guest room. I asked one of the staff members what the room was and he said it’s for the hotel staff. I asked for a refund from hotels.com and they were able to get that back for me. We were able to find another hotel, which saved our trip. "

- "Pros Location close to beach access, great for viewing sunsets and people watching. Great outdoor space - deck w/fire pit, dining area and grassed area. Large off-road parking space, easy to unload baggage from vehicle into house. Lots of beach items in very good condition - we noted 6 chairs, 2 beach umbrellas, plenty of kids toys, boogie boards and a wagon too. Interior of house decorated in a beachy theme and was quite well equipped. There are a few steps from living room to kitchen, then kitchen to bedrooms, so not all on one level but very manageable. Laundry room was great for doing a midweek wash and pods were provided. Good lighting in the house and showers had good water pressure. Owners living next door, so close if any issues arise. Both very friendly. Prompt communication. Possible Cons - The beds were a little too soft for us with the mattress toppers, but others may find them OK. Noise from the road can be loud, but you have to expect that given the close proximity to ocean. We got used to it after a couple of days. Overall a great place for a beach holiday."
