    Perfect Stay for a Birthday Weekend Getaway

    Tiny shower

    Exceptionally clean and located right on the ocean. Garage was so nice to have, too! Shower was a bit small but otherwise lovely place. We really enjoyed the coffee on the Sundeck Saturday morning.

    Tiny parking garages. I could barely get out of our Toyota Highlander, and I am 5’11” and 175 pounds.

    Great location, nice front patio with chairs, umbrellas, fire pit, & BBQ right in The Strand.

    No elevator and if you are on the third floor it is hard to pull all your luggage up! They should tell you that when you pre-book and i would have gone a room on the.second floor!

    Beautiful property!! Right on the ocean!!! Clean and remodeled!

    We picked this property as the price was right for Aussie exchange dollars. The location on the ocean was restful and just what we needed to chill down.

    The shower didn’t have a removable shower head and the room was a little small but we made it work.

    Trevor was amazing he assisted in every need. We had a few hiccups and he helped us all the way. We enjoyed the deck and the room had everything we needed. Thanks again Trevor and we will be back for sure!

    There was no hot water in our room, so we were not able to shower our whole trip. And the parking was a pain to deal with.

    Right by the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shopping (Although nothing opens until after 10am)

    Location great, just down from Oceanside pier. Front deck has several seating areas, BBQ grille, Firepit, tall chairs, with a great view of the ocean. Room seemed to be recently remodeled and done very well. Liked the little bit of decor they had. The property manager, Trevor, was so kind to us in many ways. Highly recommend the stay here.
