Nice place to stay

A little dated, but nice place to stay. Right across from the esplanade. Short drive or a 20 minute walk into the heart of the city. Would stay again.

We stayed here for 9 nights. Great little apartment, kitchen, laundry, drier, ocean views, heated pool, nice grounds, friendly staff, easy walk into town (we like to walk), nice deck for people watching (looking straight at the esplanade), a great place to go and escape the southern cold! We will definitely stay here again!

Really nice room with nice views. Close to shops and can walk to most tourist spots and nice walking along the esplanade. Planes do fly over during the day but didn’t really bother us. Can highly recommend
