Trinity Beach Club Holiday Apartments
The room has everything we needed including a washer dryer. The gentleman (Michael) who ran the premises was extremely helpful and explained where all good dining options and sight seeing places were

Sea Change Beachfront Apartments
I loved this property. It was a little dated but the apartment and patio were HUGE. The location was great with views of the ocean. I could have stayed longer.

Drift Palm Cove
The apartment was adequate for our needs, clean, comfortable and with extras like washing machine and dryer, microwave/airfryer/convection plus hotplates. The pool area is lovely and access to everything was an easy walk plus right on the beach. We would definitely go back.
