“What strikes me about this location is the direct beach access, a real advantage. The renovated rooms and friendly staff, particularly the night check-in, create a welcoming experience. Location reminded one guest of old Florida charm, and I can see that. A cozy spot, especially if you snag one of the four ocean-view rooms.”
