Location is great right next to the beach. Keyless entry.
Laundry is available but the machines need updating since the washer doesn’t work properly. Our stove/oven did not work at all however we were given a hot plate to cook on upon request. Kitchen is equipped with basics including plates and cups. Cleaning is an ongoing maintenance but this place could use a deep cleaning. We were allowed to do an early luggage drop off that was very helpful.
Walking distance to the beach, free parking, full size refrigerator, stove. Provided detailed recommendations to the manager. In need of a serious upgrade to include basic amenities.

Comfy King size bed!
We needed a place to stay for 1 night. Free parking at the hotel, which was nice. Comfortable room, the ac worked great. The shower head was lovely. Our one complaint, the kitchen table looked as if ii was forgotten when the place was cleaned. Other than that, great location. We definitely would stay again!
The property was very nice very convenient everything and exactly what we were looking for

The property was extremely clean at our entrance. We were there for 5 days. Day 3 I've noticed super tiny small bugs, I looked with google to see what there were and google said they were cockroaches (luckily we were almost out of there).
The last day also the monoxide carbon alarm started to run out of batteries so we had to deal with the noise.
The shower was clogged.
The property needs to be updated.
I will choose somewhere else to go next time.
Nicolas and Eleyns were the most responsive and helpful property owners. I really appreciated how easy it was to get into contact with them when need; you don't always expect that level of responsiveness from smaller venues. The proximity to the beach is also fantastic!
Great location near the beach and boardwalk! Parking was simple that was a big plus for me. Nicolas and Eleyns are very good at conveying information in a professional way with emails and text messages to make sure i was situated and happy with my stay! I am looking forward to staying with them again in the near future! I Highly recommend this property!

We had to evacuate from Hurricane Milton and we were looking for a dog friendly hotel. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at how close we were to the beach and boardwalk. The room was small but very comfortable. It was great to have a kitchen where we could eat some of our meals. Would definitely go back again
The place is great, the only problem is when the refrigerator make some noises in the middle of the night and is located next to the bed.

It serves it's purpose.
The place is very close to the beach. Parking was not an issue. It's an older place but they keep it clean. Not a lot of frills and thrills but that's not the point of this place. The purpose is to be affordable and near the beach and it served those purposes. Very close to food. Not far from Hard Rock stadium.
