Bathroom wall and shower were dirty. Shower water pressure was weak. Water temperature was hard to control. It was either scalding or cold. Worst was I was itchy all other. It watts no pets on the beds but clearly there was dander since I’m allergic. I did not sleep all night.

Fabulous location- cute area of town, easily walkable to shops, restaurants, beach. Room was spacious and comfortable. Only improvements would have been more counter space and better mirror lighting in bathroom and easier room temperature control. Also would have appreciated a swiffer since no cleaning service to clean floor myself and yoga mat since no gym facilities. Overall a great stay however! Hope to be back.

Staying here was an experience I’ll never forget. From the very beginning, everything felt effortless — no crowds, no noise, just a peaceful welcome that set the tone for the entire stay. The check-in was smooth and personal, more like arriving at a friend’s private retreat than a typical hotel.

I was hesitant to book them at first since there was no reviews. But it’s because they’re a new property. Everything about our stay was great including amenities, cleanliness, and location. It was only 5-10 min walking to downtown and there are lots of great shops and restaurants nearby so we didnt even drive for the 2 days while we stayed. The only problem was i booked for a unit with 2 br 2 ba initially but i was double booked with another person so the manager offered me 2 separate units right next to each other. They also promised me an induction cooktop since these units didnt have a full kitchen like the other one…but it wasnt in our unit when we arrived so we called them and they ended up delivering it a few hours later. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and i really appreciated the prompt response from the manager.
