Great modern room, comfy bed. Only downside was the fire pit wasn't working during our stay. The hot tub was small, but very relaxing. Great location & love that you can get towels, chairs & umbrellas to take to the beach.

Overall great stay! Close proximity to the beach and a few local spots. My only complaint/suggestion is to have more lighting in the room(dark and hard to see) . Also the bathroom fans really don’t do much at all , so some room spray would be great 😅😂
