a cute stay

friendly ownersperfect locationuncomfortable mattresses
the owners were friendly and helpful . i especially appreciated their willingness to cook a bacon sandwich for my daughter, who had an early start for a dance show. the location was perfect for accessing the beach and promenade, a definite plus for convenience.
The mattresses could use an upgrade. I found mine to be quite uncomfortable, which affected my sleep. unfortunately, this discomfort led me to cut my trip short by a night, and i wasn't offered a refund.
