Beach view excellent. Clean sheets! Thank you! Would like to see an improvement on the coffee amenities in the room. The coffee makers do not look sanitary. We would like to have a cup of coffee in our room without having to go out to get it. We feel that we should get at least that for the price of our room. Overall good stay.

This is our 3rd time staying here. We looooove it here. Clean and spacious rooms with plenty of towels. Please treat yourself and book a beachside room -1st floor if you can. You *WILL NOT* regret it. You will then get the added bonus of the friendly mallards curiously walking up on your patio. Be aware though - you feed them from your patio, they'll all quickly gather at your door and never leave. Likewise on the beach as well. Check in/out was super quick and easy. I've come to enjoy the convenience of the breakfast card vouchers. Think of it as room service but in Door Dash style. The pool/hot tub area was great. From 10p-11p is designated for adults only. We took advantage of TC Watersports this year. We rented two jetskis for 1hr. We did it before noon before the bay got inundated with watercraft traffic. So much fun!
