Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
This place was nice to stay. Very clean and tidy with great amenities. Easy to access and secure off street parking was great. The outlook from back of property was amazing and beautiful to see all the way to the ocean. However the traffic noise from being on a main road was horrendous and kept me away all night. This is not evident on the advertising that it is on a main road. The photos make it look like a secluded property which is deceiving.
