It's not fancy, but it has everything we need for a quick beach getaway. I come every year with my daughter. We love the easy access to the beach, the bar right on the beach, and everyone is so friendly.

The room was great. Super clean and modern. It was walking distance to almost everything. The staff was really nice and helpful. The little beach was really nice. Our only drawback was the loud music at the bar area. And, it went until late at night. We didnt realize it was going to be that way. But, other than that, the place was is great!
