Perfect Family Apartment

We loved our stay in the Apartment! The king bed was extremely comfortable, and our daughter enjoys bunk beds. Plus, we had all the essentials like a fridge, grill, and a lovely dining space. Breakfast served on our private deck added to the joy of our morning routine.

Unbeatable Breakfast

Every morning we were treated to a different delicious breakfast brought right to our deck. The care that went into each meal made our stay feel extra special. It's such a nice touch to enjoy breakfast outside in the fresh air.

I had a lovely stay at this B&B, which boasts a prime location just a short walk from North Beach and the harbor. The rooms were reasonably sized and had some nice outdoor seating areas, perfect for soaking in the nice weather. However, some aspects like the outdated decor and limited breakfast options were disappointing, making it feel less luxurious than I hoped for, but it's still pretty good value for what you pay.

5.0/10

Overall, my stay was quite frustrating. The location offered stunning views, which were a highlight, but the lack of authentic hospitality and numerous maintenance issues made it a less than appealing experience. The service was non-existent since it felt like an Air B&B with no one available for assistance. For the price we paid, the amenities and conditions of the space were unacceptable, resulting in a disappointing stay.

My experience at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location across from the beach is fantastic, offering great views. However, the service was lacking, as we struggled to find help during our stay. The room was acceptable, but it could use some updates, especially in the bathroom. Overall, the vibe felt more like an Air B&B rather than a resort, and I expected a better experience for the price we paid.

I had a lovely time at this resort. The location is perfect for beach access and exploring nearby attractions. The atmosphere is charming, but there are points that need improvement like the breakfast variety. The amenities are nice, making for a comfortable stay, yet the quality of the room left a bit to be desired. Overall, it’s a cozy spot but could do with some enhancements to reach its full potential.

I had a wonderful stay at this charming property, which is clean, quiet, and perfectly located near North Beach and downtown. The spacious room provided a very comfortable king-sized bed, and the common areas were great for relaxing. However, the breakfast hours were a bit restrictive, and the shower was smaller than expected, but these were minor issues in an otherwise fantastic stay.
