This property is in a nice location. We checked in a little early and had to wait for clean towels. We noticed the coffee pot in the room had not been emptied or cleaned from prior guests. The refrigerator made a terrible vibrating sound. The staff were friendly and accomodating.

The room was dirty! Hair on shower walls, debris all over the carpet (clear evidence of not vacuumed), half used shampoos and conditioner as complementary soaps. The smell of septic fills the air outside. Single cup Coffee make available to use however no cupsor coffee to go with it. Overall an uncomfortable experience. Pros, the view from this property is top notch. Private beach.
