Everything was really nice. Well located. Price was good. We will most likely try to book here again in the future.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
Not sure if the people above us were visiting as well or owners, they were super loud during the night and early morning. Other than that, this was a GREAT place to stay and perfect access to whatever you want to do. I suggest you go eat at least once at Camille’s!!! That place is fantastic!
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
This was a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful little place to hang your hat, eat in, watch a movie, read and comfortable master bedroom. You can see the beach from the location and just a hope, skip and jump to that beach. We absolutely loved it ... highly recommend. A downer is you can not check in until 4PM on the day you are paying for and have to check out by 9AM on the day you leave. Really cuts into your vacation time.
