cute stay

friendly owners motorcycle parking
The owners were very friendly. The motorcycle parking area was great for those travelling with bikes. The welcome was really good to both myself and my pet. The location of the rooms showed thoughtfulness.
I noticed the windows had mould. It seemed like the windows could use some cleaning. The mould was noticeable enough that it impacted the overall impression.

musty smell erratic shower
the location was good , near the beach.
My room had a persistent musty smell , like old gym socks. the shower temperature was erratic. It cycled between scalding hot and icy cold , a fun surprise. also , the tv remote seemed to have a mind of its own , changing channels randomly.
