Everything was new and tastefully decorated. The beach is close! Barefoot walk to the sand. The shared patio is not a big deal, plenty of space for everyone. The communication with Anchors Aweigh was quick. I had two different questions that were answered fast. The only negative comment that I have to say, is the bed. It is a nightmare.! We stayed five nights and my husband had to see a chiropractor by the end of our stay. The bed is new, but the firmness and the hard white pillows felt like concrete. Still, it was a lovely place. We cooked and grilled outside. Next time, we will bring an egg crate.
