The staff was great and very helpful! The property itself was on the older side. For the price it was decent. The beds weren't the most comfortable, but not the worst either. Wish the 2 bdrm suite had 2 restrooms, but for the price it was decent.

Very friendly staff. We stayed during the week and they had a free happy hour. 2 drinks, the good stuff and snacks. They even gave us bottled water, microwave popcorn and a fresh cookie at check in. Best to bring your own towels if you are using the pool. Pool is small, breakfast had eggs/meat/waffles/cereal/yogurt, I think I even saw some making chocolate batter waffles. Not fancy but good value, we will stay again.

Rooms were clean, no issues and would recommend. One thing is they should keep a small broom/dust pan in the room with the kitchenette. Overall we had a good time. They even have the golf cart rentals there so no need to go elsewhere

The room was clean and comfortable and cheap for the location. We were only there to sleep but the walls are super thin you can hear everyone outside and upstairs and next door… and none of the small lights worked only the over head light worked. But it’s close to the beach cheap clean…
