“For those seeking a classic beach vibe without pretense, this could be your spot. The location is remarkable, literally steps from the sand, and the heated pool adds a layer of relaxation, even if the furnishings have seen better days. It's the kind of place where quirks become part of the charm, especially for a quick escape.”
