Reviewer Comments:
Overall, we had a great stay. The proximity of the property to the beach is excellent. A short walk or an even shorter drive. The location of this specific unit is right next to the pool and splash pad. It is a smaller, family friendly property. Most people we say we’re families with children, not a rambunctious crowd. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had ample supplies. Only complaint - the floors looked clean when we arrived, but it became apparent that they were clearly very dirty/not mopped. Our 10 month old’s hands and legs were black after just a few minutes of crawling around.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
My wife, 2 daughters (2 and 7) and I had a wonderful time. The room had a separate room for the girls, 2 bathrooms and a living room with overlooking kitchen. Outside the room is a pool with a splash pad and Pirate ship playground. Beach is right around the corner you could walk to if you wanted but we drove to carry all our supplies. There is a place to rent Beach vehicles. Perfect spot for a young family. We even used the bbq section for burgers and dogs
