10/10 Excellent

"Great clean accommodations including comfortable beds and pillows. Spent one night as stopover, very quiet and as a single female felt very safe and comfortable!

I would highly recommend !"

The Sand Dunes

8/10 Good

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Easy access to beach and pool. Gorgeous view! Literally 3 doors down from center of town where some excellent restaurants are. Beds comfortable and pillows were perfect!!! The only complaint I had was the railing on the balcony. Gorgeous views while standing but if you sit all you see is the thick wide railing! It took me a couple of days to get over the frustration and disappointment but eventually I did as everything else was awesome!!! Definitely will be back next year."
