Great trip, took the teenagers and they had a blast being so close to the beach access and the pool. Loved that the pier was in walking distance for fishing and watching fireworks without being in a crowd.

Check in was easy, they were able to get checked in early (for a fee) which was nice. Small but sufficient parking lot. The pool was very nice and well kept. Having the beach access right there, along with a hose to spray off was really nice. Loved being so close to the pier. Definitely would stay again.

Liked the beautiful oceanview, the cleanliness of the room, and the bed was very comfortable. As we are seniors it would have been nice to not have so many steps to walk up to get to our room. I know that can't be fixed because of the age of the property. When we returned home I saw that an additional $160.00 was charged to my AMEX, which was a pet fee that should have been waived because my dog is a service animal. I called and the manager took care of the refund for me.
