Oceanside Court by Kees Vacations

10/10 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this room is. I booked it because it's right on the beach. It was so nice to walk up a set of stairs and be there. I didn't expect a stove or coffee pot in the rooms. But there was also charcoal for a community grill. We never really saw any staff, but all the info we needed was sent by email. The beds were small, but clean and comfortable. The numbered parking stalls were nice, too. I would highly recommend this place for an economical room on the beach."
