Anonymous, Aug 2017
Pros (+) Huge room, nice staff, fully stocked kitchen in room, nice beach, luxurious.
Cons (-) Smaller of two rooms was beachside. I wish the master had had the ocean view. It would have been nice to have a few spots to sit and gaze at the ocean. A few benches throughout the property and some adirondack chairs to bring a glass of wine at sunset would be great.

Pros (+) Did a one night stop over here heading down the coast. Surprised at how big the room/unit was and how nice the pool and grounds were. Will return for longer next time.
Cons (-) Took a little long to get extra bedding for sofa sleeper but they delivered with a smile.
