Jun 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short Walk to beach We had 8 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of room for everyone. The walk to the beach was easy. The Boardwalk was fun but if it’s super hot out I suggest driving down there. It’s only a mile away so walking is doable. Some of the pics were misleading. The view to the ocean is minimal and lots of homes under construction (06/13/25). This did not hamper the stay but was disappointing. All amenities/appliances were in good working condition.We also used the charcoal grill and had burgers & board games themed night. Overall a goof experience!FYI- it is 4 stories high so lots of steps, there is a residential elevator which came in handy during check in & checkout. ![View to ocean from balcony ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e4531e21-b321-4fa7-8010-04b8a99b2ca8-1750279251037.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View to intercoastal from balcony ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a90cece8-a6e4-4897-9c0c-fb4757b03a07-1750279250813.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Walk to the beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1cf5638e-7552-4952-aa03-35a0fdaa33e5-1750279252507.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Paige W.

Filled out survey when we got there and never heard back then had to call the office for 2 days before we got anyone. No towels in master suite, mirror that fell off closet door when we opened it and broken toilet seat on main floor. As for the description, no TV in master suite, and one set of bunk beds now in the living area downstairs and other separated in the one bedroom, and desk is in master upstairs and chair in bedroom on main floor. ##### Anitra H.
