The room was clean. Staff was friendly. The only complaint that I have is that it was really cold in the room and I could not adjust the thermostat to warm the room up. I turned up the thermostat, but the room stayed at 65 degrees.

5/5 - Excellent

I bring my family here every year because it is a very family oriented beach. It is not overcrowded or touristy. Everyone is so friendly. My kids love the beach and the water being more clear than most beaches near Maryland.

Loved the area. Very relaxing, people walking and riding bikes. Very quiet.
