My daughter had a rugby tournament at the fields two blocks away. This property was perfect for our needs and beaching it. We also enjoyed the nearby Icona dining options within walking distance. Sunsets on the bay side were beautiful. The pool was clean and a great temperature.

All staff we dealt with were super friendly especially at check in. It was all so easy. They let us park hours before check in and texted us while we were enjoying the beach thay our room was ready! Kids had a good time in the pool every day. We will absolutely be back.

Clean, comfortable, and a perfect place to stay if you’re visiting for a few days. The room came with a kitchenette and a sitting area. Sadly, we were only there for one night. The bed was so comfortable I fell asleep immediately. Lovely stay.
