Every thing was great. Only small suggestion is to make breakfast earlier for birdwatchers who want to get out early (0600 or 0630).

The room was a lot bigger than I realized it was. It was a full bedroom area and a full living room area, it might’ve been a pullout couch. I’m not quite sure but we could have definitely fit more people comfortably if we had a family with us. Everything was exceptionally clean, including the floors. I walked around without shoes on during one point in our trip, and I had nothing stuck to the bottom of my foot. Very convenient access to the boardwalk in the beach.

Very clean, close to many dining options and shopping, friendly staff, complimentary continental breakfast available (we hadn’t taken advantage of this, so unable to rate, but awesome to have available). Only stayed for an overnight, but would be a wonderful spot for a longer stay.
