Just stayed 1 night with our dog. We were limited by our dog as to which room we could pick. The dog fee is very reasonable, stayed at other places in the area and they over charge for the pet fee. It did the trick for what we needed. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Small refrigerator and microwave. It’s an easy drive to anywhere in the area. I do recommend.

Friendly place for pets, although limited areas for pets to relieve themselves. If other pets then need to share and sometimes may be an issue depending on your pet or others. Convenience to surrounding areas like beaches and restaurants

Very clean place

Very nice clean space. Bathroom very very small. No room to put things on the sink and shower was tiny. A little expensive for the space. But the people are very nice and they have a club house room with Pool table and a pool. We did not use because we were only there one night.

The only things I did not love was the bed and the ac. The bed was not to my liking comfort wise. But that’s a preference I suppose. And the ac in our room either barely worked or turned the room into a freezer. Otherwise everything about this place was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pool was clean and well kept and the game room is a nice addition. Would definitely stay here again

The property was clean, though there was a chemical ordor in the room. The ordor was very pronounced and only dissipated with the windows open. When we requested it be checked the staff person, the housekeeper, was very rude and did nothing.
