The staff is very professional and friendly. The check in process was easy and my room was ready when I arrived. There is ample parking and we found a spot near our room. The room was clean and well apportioned. Everything in the room worked perfectly.

What an unexpected surprise! The pool area is lovely. I felt very spoiled with pool side service and had drinks and dinner while lounging in the cute cabana areas they have. The room was very clean and inviting and the bed are VERY comfortable! I didn't want to leave! They are also pet friendly, so I may bring my dog next time.

Very nice and located right by a nice local beach. The staff were super friendly and loved dogs. Having kids and let’s it’s nice to have a kitchenette which was perfect. Gas stove, apartment sized fridge/freezer, toaster, microwave, mini basic coffee maker, etc. They had special towels and treats for my dogs. I brought a crate to keep my dogs calm while we were out at the Boardwalk all day which is not pet friendly.
