Great boutique hotel on the beach! Great people and a great value! Highly recommended!! ##### Patrick Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really awesome hotel in a perfect location - steps away from the sand but just private enough that you feel comfortable leaving things on the front patio. Staff was wonderful and accommodating! ##### Jacob Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The hotel is right on the beach and surrounded by shops, restaurants, and bars. The room was cute and quirky. The bathroom is extremely small and cramped… not appropriate for more than one person at a time… but that was the only real downside for us. The bed was large and comfortable and the air conditioner worked great! It was a great choice for us… we stayed 5 nights and filled our days with excursions and hanging at the beach and the many bar options close by. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/25e69338-36ff-4fe0-900f-bd2c09cdf4cb-1753909004080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/57fa3656-ef90-402b-bf96-95454dedd9b0-1753909000917.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31d72019-e956-4318-ade8-ab03235c980a-1753909004900.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/147b8f61-eee0-46ed-8b9c-956c8746142b-1753909000324.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tina Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte Feb 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved staying on the beach, steps away from gorgeous surf and sunsets!
