The efficiency had a full kitchen. It was great to make dinner on site and watch the sunset. We used the charcoal grills ( bring your own charcoal). The grill are very clean. All the tables and chairs are very clean. There is no maid service during your stay. Our room and a queen size Murphy' bed, futon, recliner, side chair, & dining table with four chairs. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans, silverware, toaster, crockpot, soaps, & sponge. The kitchen has a microwave, oven, stove and fridge. The staff is very friendly. There is free parking. You can rent a stand up paddle board from the hotel for $25/day. This hotel is casual and very clean. The staff keeps it in great condition. I would not hesitate staying here again.

Last year we thought the customer service had gone down hill and then this year even before check in when I would call to ask a question the lady who answered the phone was short and not very friendly to answer a simple question. The moment I walked in the office to check in there was no warm welcome (like hey maybe after 15 years of staying there maybe we could've been greeted with a welcome back or hi welcome to the resort, something anything warm and welcoming would've been nice) I understand places need rules but it's like a bunch of rude dictators running around there. You would think they would treat multi year return guests a little nicer and welcoming. Our group may not go back out there next year due to the customer service from the office staff, maintenance staff. The housekeepers and pool attendant was nice but that's it. The front office staff needs a customer service attitude adjustment. Also, there was a really creepy "security guard" walking around the property at night and the way he was dressed made me question if he's even security. The blinds did not close all the way. I had to get dressed in the tiny bathroom because even with the blinds closed you could see in and that also made the room so incredibly bright in the morning

I travel for work and stay in hotels all across the country so I know a few things about customer service. First off it's a no frills type of place so don't expect greatness but it also isn't the slums. We stayed in unit 21 facing the courtyard. The queen room was extremely compact and I'm guessing 250 sf tops. It did have a small kitchen with one of the smallest sinks I ever washed dishes in but it worked. They do supply just about everything u need to cook a small dinner or breakfast if u choose to do while your staying. The fridge was nice and worked ( made strange noises both nights ) & the shower was decent ( not the greatest pressure but it was hot ) we found a local grocery store and picked up items for breakfast. Both morning we made bacon and eggs and chilled outside Parking seemed small but we always had a place to park when we made it back from being out. Here's the pros & cons imo Cons ----- tiny Ants in the kitchen were annoying, zero breakfast options , small rooms , no DVD players in the room, all types of odd noises throughout the day and night. We kept hearing noises coming from the drains ( gurgling ) shower pressure was very low but got the job done. Pro's ---- Walking distance to the beach ( less than 200 ft , room AC will freeze u out , the queen bed was decent , they have outdoor grills ( 2 ) 3 sets of tables to sit and chill for morning coffee or dinner. Very quiet atmosphere especially since there's a huge Public parking area right next door. The girls in the office were pretty friendly. Maintence guy was super nice and took care of a few issues we had very quickly. Overall it's a really good place to stay. It's an older place for sure but it has a certain charm that pulls u in. Would I stay here again ahh I don't know. I think foe the money u pay it's a good place but I'm pretty sure if u wanted greatness it's also here in Venice as well. I really wished there was an in room DVD player because we brought out wedding video from 21 years ago to sit and watch There's a place called Pop's sunset grill that we had dinner @ that was awesome. The Mahi and grilled salmon was outstanding. Don't forget the rum runners
