4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location
The amenities were poor. There was no toilet paper, I had to go to the front desk and ask for it. There was only laundry detergent for the wash that was required. No Kleenex. I couldnā€™t find trash bags, they were in the trash can. It was very expensive and absolutely nothing was provided- very dated 1980ā€™s decor. Pictures were hung behind furniture and to the side. I would recommend staying somewhere else. Very off putting. View was great. Just donā€™t come inside.

Everything was great. We enjoyed the adult hot tub, the view and the local Harbor walks. Since it was winter and chilly outside there weren't a lot of other vacationers and there was daily outside maintenance going on. None of that really took away from the great room/view.

Easy check-in. Love the location in the off-season. It was great to have an easy walk and drive to so many restaurants. There was a banging outside the window from something metal outside, so we had to download a noise maker to sleep, but we went away after two days.

This was a great property and was within walking distance to the board walk. We loved the restaurant where we were staying. There was a lot of excursions within walking distance and a nice restaurant across the street called McGuireā€™s. We would definitely stay here again.
