Check in was easy and staff was very friendly and attentive. Nothing fancy about the room but that’s ok, it did have a view of the bay which was nice. The beach was beautiful, clean and a nice place to relax/unwind and also was the sunrise. Would stay here again for sure

It was nice because the beach was right there. The rooms were pretty small. However it’s all that was available for 4th of July weekend. The breakfast was not good. But not too shabby for the price and availability.
