I loved the quaint and intimate setting and it's location on the Esplanade was ideal for daily walks and close to restaurants snd shopping. As a solo traveler I was very comfortable and found it to be the perfect place to be. Lisa and her team were helpful and friendly.

The location was amazing, just steps from the beach. The room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we wanted for a few day's stay including clothes washer and dryer and full kitchen. The pool and pool area was beautiful. There were jets for a relaxation, nice lounge chairs and even a grill for cooking out. Would highly recommend.
