    Incredible find for the price..

    Wonderful experience! The owners were friendly and very accommodating. It is an incredible find for the price. Very close to the beach. I stayed in one of the apartment style rooms. It was very clean and much more spacious than a traditional hotel room. I would definitely stay here again!

    Perfect for a traveling family!

    Very fairly priced for the area. Customer service was more than 5 star. Rooms were spotless. Perfect for a traveling family who eats in house a lot. Nice sized fridge for food storage too.
