The accommodations were nicer than we imagined even though the air conditioning in the master bedroom was not working well. The location far exceeded our expectations and our stay of 4 nights could of been 2 weeks to take it all in.

This place has the most amazing views on three sides - you can watch the sun rise over the ocean and the sun set over the mountains. Place is older but extremely clean and has everything you need.

The beautiful vista, sunrise and sunset, the nearby Boardwalk, city lights, views and proximity to everything as well as the RSL that have great food at reasonable prices, next door. Beds were lovely and comfortable and quiet, once the doors to the patio were closed. It was a perfect accommodation for us.
