We just left and found another place to stay. I will say the sheets looked crisp and clean. There was no air conditioning that worked. It smelled of stale cigarette smoke. It was poorly maintained. We just ate the cost of the room and left.

Good for distance to town and Fido
Within walking distance of Main Street. Not fancy but a comfortable bed and pet friendly. Being able to bring our dog was the main focus for staying here. We’ll be back in a few weeks and we’ll be staying here again.

Don’t judge a book by its cover!
We weren’t too impressed when we first drove up, the grounds could def use some sprucing up. We were greeted by a super friendly clerk who was able to get us an early check in (for a small fee). That was a great start! We went to the room and were pleasantly surprised. It was comfortable and clean, the AC worked phenomenally, the shower had great water pressure. We had no idea that right out back was the walkway that took us straight to the beach/pier. We also had no idea that we were a couple blocks walking distance to all the great restaurants on Main St. All this in one spot...a great package! We didn’t even need to use our car all weekend. We definitely will stay here again....we even made note of the room number so we can rebook it! Thanks Vagabond!

Like this location , Maria and the first woman I met who helped book the room were very friendly and welcoming ...George seemed annoyed with me, and the woman who came on after Maria was extremely hostile and extremely stern, without cause. Unfriendly in tone, her offer to answer my question, in place of Maria, seemed disingenuous, and made me apprehensive to continue communicating with her. The place is great for the price and quieter than I expected.

So they changed me a $100. Deposit when I got there my tv didn’t work it was black and white or purple I went to office to let them know and was told maintenance was not available until Monday. Our key wouldn’t open our room so disappointing we have stayed here many times and we feel this time they have gone down hill not happy with the extra $10. Dollars that we didn’t plan on and the rooms were not up to par
