Pros (+) Waking and watching sunrise.
Pros (+) Oceanfront, private beach, deck, small fridge, 4 cup Coffeepot, mini microwave
Cons (-) Mildew smell, stained tile,crack in wall, cracked grout around tub and wood framework in bathroom. Reserved a 3 night stay, but we're told that the computer shows the type of room we are booking, and not the nights it is available. So what we thought we booked was a 3 night stay in one room. We were told it in fact our reservation was a room for one night and a different room for two nights.
