Property is the best beachfront location for the price. Very clean. Beach is literally outside your front door and so easily accessible. Rooms were very clean. A 5 minute drive to Main Street Chatham with so many restaurants nearby. Would stay again.

Overall great service, clean rooms, nice location. Found an earwig in my shower one day so that wasn’t great but that can probably happen sporadically in a lot of places. The AC units could be a little over aggressive with the cooling but once you learned how to work it you could change it to the temperature you want. Main complaint is the blankets are kind of thin on the beds so it could get chilly.
