There was a heavy downpour and wind that revealed a leaky window. The property was nice, but a little lacking with delayed maintenance. Close to dining and piers.

Very pleasant stay.

The place was very nice. We enjoyed our room and how easy it was to access everything along the beach front. We liked that they offered beach supplies to use and bicycles as well! We plan to return and get an ocean view next time.

The property and room was nice , enjoyed the the sun deck and the treats. Very clean rooms . Only downfall was parking , it is limited and small. We took a dodge truck . And the parking around the area is normally taken due to being open to the public. Room didn't have AC which maybe normal in the area, we had gone on a warm weekend. Overall it was a good stay.

This place is a gem!

Such a wonderful getaway. Right on the beach. A bit quirky but lovely. The staff welcoming and accomodating the breakfast was incredible, the view from the roof deck stunning and the pie & ice cream at night were next level.

Can’t wait to return!

Absolutely loved my stay at this special spot and I hope to return! The hotel has so much cute character and the staff is friendly. They have a gorgeous view from the rooftop and a delicious breakfast that is included. Felt almost like a bed and breakfast. We made use of the beach equipment and towels as well. Lovely little town for a family getaway.

Great location, Very nice staff. As mentioned on their website, there is no elevator, so be ready to climb stairs. the ocean view rooms have a daybed on the balcony. Laid out there till 1:30 in the morning listening to the waves, staring up at the stars and listening to Jimmy Buffett. This is an old hotel with rustic charm. Very tight parking spaces beneath the hotel.
