Safe, convenient location. Right across from the beach! There is a pizza place and ice cream shop a couple miles down the road, and seafood options. Might house also very close. Great location! Great service! If i was going to critique, its my personal preference, I prefer white towels :) so, if that is the only critique I can give, i would 100% stay here again!

Cute and cozy

Very cute little place with a great view of the water. If it had been a warmer night we couldve slept with the windows open and heard the waves crashing against the shore. Would definitely stay again when in the area!
