"I would easily recommend this place over any other I’ve stayed. Very clean, lots of room at an exceptional price. Was more like a small apartment than a motel. Full kitchen, living room, huge balcony that was easily 2-3 times the size of a normal balcony. Plenty of space for everyone. 2 tvs. Staff was very nice. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!"

"We own timeshare here and it's our happy place! The location can't be beat- right on the beach, easy access to the TART trail to bike anywhere, sidewalks to walk to nearby restaurants, stores, or (the kids'favorite) Pirates Cove. The rooms are wonderful with a full kitchen to save on food, but admittedly need some improving. Staff is always fantastic."
