We loved this place! It had a great vibe. We loved the coffee shop, pool, pool bar and the beach access. The staff was very attentive and kind. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere of the cafe. Great location. We would stay here again. No coffee pot or microwave in the room, which was fine for a short stay. Publix is around the block.
