It's great! Each room that I saw has a huge wall-sized beautiful painting that fits the nature theme of the hotel. I love the system that doesn't require a check-in desk or room key. When I walked in the room there was a beautiful slideshow of natire scenes playing on the TV accompanied by beautiful music. The people who run this hotel and those who clean the rooms obviosly take pride in what they do. I'll stay here again 100%

We stayed in unit #6 — it had 3 beds across 2 rooms and 1 bathroom. It looked even nicer than advertised! The space was clean and comfortable, with white sheets, a mini refrigerator, a big table, a TV, and a coffee maker. The location is great — just cross Oceanside Boulevard and you're right at the beach. There are several places nearby for breakfast and dinner, plus two ice cream shops within walking distance. There’s even a pizza place and a rental spot where you can get electric bikes for the beach. One minor downside was the thin walls — in the evening, we could hear people talking in the next room. But it wasn’t a big deal, and leaving the TV on with some relaxing music helped cover the sound. Another issue is the parking situation. It doesn’t seem like there are enough spaces for at least one car per room. Parking spots should be clearly numbered so each guest can park in front of their room. TO THE OWNER: The shower curtain rod is not stable. It fell on my husband's head when he pulled the curtain open. Please have someone fix it as soon as possible to avoid further accidents. Thank you. Great value and location — we enjoyed our stay!

I would definitely stay here again. Check-in is done remotely which was new to me but it was seamless and they were very responsive. Keurig coffee and real half-and-half creamer was great to have in the room. Super convenient location. Great price. Comfy beds. No complaints here. Thanks!

Everything was great except being charged more in taxes than the cost of the stay. That math doesn’t check out. The photos on the website made it look like there was a kitchen and dining area, but it was a microwave and a tiny fridge. I would normally be ok with that except I feel like we were deceived. There’s no reason for that because it’s a great location and a clean, quiet hotel. Too bad.

My expectations weren't high. I was looking for a standard beach hotel. What we got was a nicely updated hotel that was convenient to the beach, clean, and quiet. It also had the best pillow I have ever slept on. I came home and bought the same one. Wonderdul experience. We loved our stay and we will return next time we are in the area. Perfect for us, two adults and one toddler.

Would definitely stay again.

The Barracuda suite was spacious and clean. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. No on site employees but the email / text communication was informative. There is a suite above this one that makes the ceiling creak a fair amount. The water pressure is good in the full bath. Pool table is a little worn, the pool cues had some wobble but for a private table in the suite it was great. The washer dryer / mud room entrance was handy. Especially for a beach vacation. Might want to run the washer before the 9pm quiet hour. Cute self serve breakfast restaurant next door had good food and nice staff. Honestly wish I could have stayed more than two nights.
