Disliked: Cleanliness
We were impressed by the @ home atmosphere of the owners offering a hot plate, sink, untensils, cookware, mini fridge. Very welcoming decor/bright & light. Management were very nice/courteous. The downside is that it could have been cleaner - floors and baseboards, etc. Shower wasn't that efficient re: hot enough water. We would return though. Waiting to make sure we get a receipt for staying an extra night and it not going through via the internet/just dealt w/ the management, directly.

Owner was very nice. We could not get the tv to work and needed more towels she was quick to help. The kitchen was not stocked very well and could use some deep cleaning, mold on shower liner, but was a place to stay at a reasonable price.

It was filthy. Manager was rude und unhelpful. You hear everything through the walls. The floors moved when someone next door was walking. Real treat! And I’m sure black mold was in the bathroom. It was stuffy but when you turned on air, you got a load of dirt floating around the room

Worst bed ever otherwise great place
The matresses need a serious discard they are by far the worst.I understand not being able to clean all the sand, maybe suggest leaving one for guests to do a sweep themselves through out their stay as it can easily get outta control

We never stayed. We were turned away because the property said we never registered which we did! So we lost the $185 deposit. I believe Expedia has proof of my payment. My card ended in 3320 Visa. I now have a new card if I can get my credit. Please help me with this and let me know. Thank you. Penny Tanner. We never stayed nor got our money back. That's the best I can do. PT

The room was very nice and wasn't like a traditional motel room. It was very clean and had a nice ocean theme. The bathroom was a little small, as well as the shower's. But i would recommend staying there.
