Great location within walking distance to restaurants. Perfect if you have a dog with you as well because there are many grassy areas within close distance. The view was very nice and parking was easy. There were a few minor repairs needed and definitely new beach chairs if they still choose to offer them to guests. But overall, I’d definitely go back there again!
