Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s a bit out of Duncan so it’s pretty quiet. The trade off is that there isn’t a restaurant anywhere near by. There is a view of the ocean so that’s nice. The units could use some sprucing up (old nail holes patched, maybe repainting and recaulking around the tub). but it served its purpose.
