Close to beach and park. Close to take away and dine-in restaurant. Friendly staff. They even provided an extension cord to charge the car over night for free. So I would come back to this place if we decided to stay around that area again.

The only minor issue was that the toilet was continually running and needing adjustments for a flush.
