The location was amazing, just steps from the beach. The room was clean and comfortable with all the amenities we wanted for a few day's stay including clothes washer and dryer and full kitchen. The pool and pool area was beautiful. There were jets for a relaxation, nice lounge chairs and even a grill for cooking out. Would highly recommend.

Apartment was very spacious, clean and handy to all amenities.
Did wonder why we were unable to have a room with a view to the beach. Our view was a white wall while other apartments had a lovely view of the beach. A few of these units did appear to be vacant.
