4 Star Good Stay

Bottom floor was very convenient. Beds slept good. We had a nice time. I did feel like rooms could have been cleaned better. A lot of food found under chairs when moved. Also I felt like the place needed a little TLC. Door was barely hanging on in bathroom. I would stay there again though :)

Wonderful beach stay!

This property was as listed. We enjoyed our time at the beach and the pool! It was myself, my mother and my kids. We stayed on the first floor (unit 101) and it was so convenient to be on the bottom level. Two double beds and a set of bunks worked out great for the kids. The beach was a bit crowded during Memorial Day weekend but pretty quiet the rest of the week following. The property itself was well maintained and clean. Close to groceries, icecream and shopping. For the price I was pleased with the product! This is just a helpful suggestion, as we are not displeased - the furniture options on the outdoor patio could be updated or removed. The two folding lawn chairs on the patio are not in good shape and are very rusty. Unknowingly we laid our towels and swim suits out on them to dry and the rust came off onto our clothing and towels. Somewhere else to hang items to dry would be very helpful.
