The room had a private balcony and you could see the ocean and it was a very short walk to the sand and surf! It was a lovely quiet spot and close to the pier and the apartment was reasonably clean. The off-site manager was very helpful.

The apartments were a good size, nice and spacious. The beds were comfortable, shower had great pressure. Parking was easy and plenty of room. Although the lady looking after the apartments was not on site, she was only 5 mins away when called. She was helpful and friendly. Rooms not serviced daily which is fine, but she checked if we needed anything each day. Literally 2 minute walk to the beach by the surf club so good for swimming. At stated in other comments, the units are tired, but clean and good value. I would stay here again.
