I picked the property for its proximity to Sand Fest. The overall property was clean. The pool was nice. I appreciated security on the premise and at the entry. Our unit was clean with minor issues. The door lock was difficult open. There were exposed wires on an outlet on the balcony. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
