I absolutely loved my stay! Every room has a beautiful ocean view, and the heated pool was a fantastic bonus. I was pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade to a deluxe room, which made the experience even better. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. I highly recommend checking this place out—it's truly a gem!

Like a mini resort getaway. There’s not much around here, but the restaurant is incredible and if you’re like me, you’ll probably never leave here other than rides on the bike path or surfing the local break.
