- Krish (8/5): - It had the basic trimmings of a motel but it needs a good clean up. After a shower I walked around the unit bare feet and my feet got all black. Had to wash again before bed. The lounge sofas smelled musty and felt very sticky. The bed was good and the bathroom was well serviced with lots of towels, soap and the usual toiletries. Otherwise it was ok , we were out enjoying the beach the entire day, we only used the place to sleep and have breakfast and sometimes dinner.
- Ann and Mike (10/5): - Stayed here about 10 years ago and loved it then. This time seemed much more enjoyable. Our unit was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Highly recommend, hopefully we will return soon. Thanks guys for being such lovely hosts, couldn’t have asked for more.
