Our stay, although short …was comfortable and a great location! Views were wonderful, very short walk to the beach, the beach chairs were an added convenience! Although the property is dated, the restaurant was under construction, all in all I would stay again!

Friendly staff. Hot tub was nice in the cooler weather. The big lounge room off the lobby was a huge hit with our grandkids. They loved the games and popcorn.
