Jennifer, yep, like I said, best value on the beach........I always get beach side....and like second floor, for a balcony ( and yes, they are private ).....I love sitting out on my balcony, having a drink just chilling....especially in the evening, as it is quite there in the evening......right across the street is the popular Best in the west chicken place, and Mickeys store , where you can get pop, water, ice, beer, rum, snacks and such....... you will love it there.....excellent security as well...... One big tip should you decide to give it a try...call the office direct, they will give you rate, and availability right then...... Francis or Terri Ann are the greatest, and will set you up !
