“The proximity to the beach and fire pits create an inviting atmosphere. It's a no-frills spot, more about location and access than luxury, and recent acquisition might mean some changes are underway, requiring guests to check in at the sister property next door. For families or those prioritizing a beachfront experience over high-end amenities, this could be a solid choice.”
