The property is very nicely maintained and the pool area welcoming and tropical. The views of the beach are the highlight of the property , especially from the upper terrace. The front desk was efficient but didn’t feel like he was overly eager to answer questions. Overall a pleasant stay. The proximity to the beach…amazing

Loved this place! So easy, nice, and clean. The pool and hot tub are perfect. The beach is beautiful, couldn’t really swim there because high surf, but nice to sit on the patio and hear the waves. Car noise isn’t bad. The breakfast was good - sausage, bacon, eggs, and waffles. Kids loved the rec room!! Free parking also appreciated!

We stayed at Tamarack Beach Resort for the weekend and had a wonderful experience. The location was perfect—everything we needed was within walking distance. We didn't have to move our vehicle once during the entire 3-day stay. The beach, restaurants, shops, and local attractions were all conveniently nearby. The resort was comfortable, clean, and made for a relaxing getaway. Being able to park the car and enjoy the area on foot made our weekend stress-free and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient beach vacation

This is a great place to stay for the price and beautiful ocean patio view! The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. You are within walking distance to the village and across the street from the beach. There is a rec room also that is pretty fun if you have kids or teens. It seemed to always be in use. Pool is a little tired, but fantastic, if you don’t feel like being at the beach. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere with such a smiley staff!
