    It was right across from the ocean and we could sit out on our balcony in the sunshine. One day we ordered a breakfast box and Richard delivered it up to our balcony for us. Not a fancy place to stay but clean, comfortable, and delightful!

    Breakfast was available for a small fee and it was simple but very good. There were a few options to choose from. Coffee was great, too :)
