This place is very close to the beach and parking is not bad. Yet you need to pay attention to your arrival time. No late than 8pm or you have to figure your way to contact them — no off-hour checkin guidance.
Staffs are very rude. If you decide not to renew your stay, check out at 10 am or before — they won’t give you any warning before threatening to charge late fee.
Great location but very noisy traffic overnight. Room was well equipped and very comfortable.
Would also benefit from compendium in the room with info on local area, instructions re heater operation etc.
Convenience of getting to many areas, shopping dinning etc.

The property was well situated and had lovely views over Caroline Bay. The unit needs to be refurbished including carpet replacement. The owner was friendly and helpful.
Right on the bay. Beautiful room on 4th floor. Needed to carry bags up flight of stairs. Very nice inside. Could not figure out how to work TV. No instructions. The carnival was going on at the time so was very festive, but quiet a night. Enjoyed our stay here.
