Ocean view from the balcony is great. The property is dated without an AC system. Wouldn’t be able to stay in summers.

Part was under construction - but can't help that. Didn't let us know about the parking and having to move our car. Hot Tub was broken. The rooms were great. Very spacious and clean. Some of the trees blocked the ocean view, but all in all - was a nice place to stay.

Just Ok but the sunsets makes it all

Best location ever! We've been there many times and always choose a room with the patio. The rooms are just Ok. Somewhat outdated. Bathrooms are hideous! Some extra cleaning would also help. However, the beds are comfy! There are fireplaces which are amazing during colder weather. We had some warm nights and the fan was great. Overall- just Ok! We return because we love the area, love the spot.

Right on the coast road, great beach access and walkable boardwalk. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves! Nice staff and just a short walk to a great restaurant.

The location is unbeatable and the value is even better compared to the other options which are more "motel-like".

Perfect location for walking along Moonsrone Beach and driving to other beautiful areas. All workers were wonderful. The ocean view was wonderful. However, the pool wasn’t warm enough to use, the suite needs updated furniture, and it could use a deeper cleaning behind the nightstands and furniture.
