This was a great place to stay, the rooms were esthetically updated so very nice, clean and comfortable, the room has a balcony to watch the beach waves which was a PLUS, we got there with plenty of time to enjoy the pool/hot tub for about an hour. The whole experience was perfect and I would definitely return

Perfectly fine renovated king bed room. Nice balcony. Beware - no central air, no a/c. Great location on the beach level - no need to climb stairs. Area is a bit low rent. 1/2 price of Inn at spanish head for better beach experience.

Clean room with a fantastic view, great location. One minute walk to beach, a balcony that was great (so long as the neighbors weren’t smoking on theirs, they are close) Comfortable, clean room close to grocery stores and restaurants.
