Beds good. Really could use a mirror in the room. Difficult for two people to get ready in the morning. Need More counter space in the room. Loved the deck and view. The sand cranes in the morning were a delight

Great location near the waterfront, easy to find and access. Disappointed that there are cheep blinds on the window that doesn’t block out the light when the summer daylight is an issue. Our room also needs a shower head.
