Our ocean view was wonderful and the beach was a short walk. Room was large and clean. I would return again.

Liked: Staff & service
While the staff were helpful, we did have some disappointing experiences in our stay. In a room with a queen and twin bed - the twin bed was horribly uncomfortable, the sheets did not stay on and the headboard was not attached so any restful sleep was not possible. We understand there was damage from hurricanes last year and dune restoration was going on right outside of the balcony. However we did not expect for trucks and workers with bright lights to begin working at 6 am in the morning right outside the windows. While the staff was friendly, we felt the quality of our stay did not match what we would have expected for what we paid. We did like the area, safe to walk, Publix nearby as well as restaurants, and a lovely art/boardwalk and fishing pier.

Older unit, but appears to be clean. Hard to tell what it will be like when the construction is finished outside our balcony, but the view if very compromised right now. Also, there really is no breakfast to speak of. Coffee, a packaged pastry, and a very small yogurt.

I booked a first floor room for personal and specific reasons. When we checked in, we discovered we had been “bumped” to the second floor by the owner of the property. I made it clear I did not want to be moved and the front desk said the owner did it and didn’t know why,…. There was nothing we could do until the people who were in the room we booked checked out and the room was cleaned. I was assured the second floor was an upgrade. Haha, no, it definitely was not. The second floor room was outdated, had 2 refrigerators (1 updated one and a noisy one in a cabinet) when I went to discover where the noise was coming from (2nd fridge) the door fell off the cabinet. The pillowcases were dirty and there was a dripping stain on the wall. The table only had 1 chair (one of us had to eat on the bed). Once we spoke to the owner, she assured we could have the first floor room when it was ready. It was much nicer. Updated and functional. The property itself was clean. The continental breakfast was good with lots of options. ALL the staff within the property we spoke with here all great. The property is across from the public access to the beach. The balconies face the parking lot where ALL the beach goers park, it is not quiet or private.

Loved this charming place! We stayed in the downstairs Beach House. Unit was clean and perfect for our family of 4. Employees were kind and ready to help with anything. The continental breakfast was a nice start to our day. We hope to come again!

The carpet in our room was horribly stained and dirty. One lamp did not work. I moved my lamp back and it was discussingly fithly. I covered with a towel just to put my warer bittle on it. There was old food under the chair cushion. The sheets were paper thin. Old place. The breakfast was nothing to speak of. Not for us. Pictures looked much better and the weekend price was ridiculous. One and done.
