I didn’t realize you could walk out onto the beach until I got here. This was the perfect spot to stay. Great location we could walk to everything. The room was perfect size for my daughter and I. We loved the tiled shower. The king bed was super comfortable. The little refrigerator and microwave was perfect for us. You can hear the waves when sitting on the balcony and patio area. Thanks so much for a great visit.
