"The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Everything you need to know is in a binder in the room, and the staff is very helpful if you have questions. The place was easy to find and has ample parking. The room was quiet and spacious. The only criticism is that they need mirrors throughout the room so multiple people can get ready at one time. Our room had a single vanity with a single mirror which made it difficult for three women to get ready for the day. Other than that, it was great and we’d definitely stay there again."

"We were there for a sister reunion and had a marvelous time. The property was everything we hoped for and we each got a bedroom with a sliding door and a connecting deck, so when we retired for the evening, we got to listen to the waves. The pool was perfect and there was a butterfly garden out by the pool that we really enjoyed. Beach access was very convenient and a short walk took us to an area in Surf City, with a fishing pier, restaurants, groceries, and souvenir shopping.John was the perfect host and only a text away if we had any questions. The home was well equipped and had everything we needed to make some wonderful dinners in the evenings which allowed us to catch up on each other’s lives, since we all live in four different states. We would definitely stay there again. "
