The location was 10/10! Ocean views with the sunset were phenomenal. Walking distance to all the restaurants and coffee shops you could need. The room was a great size for the two of us. The shower could definitely use some cleaning/updating. For example, I wouldnโ€™t put my kids in the bath tub. Everything else was great.
