My family and I stayed here for one night. The rooms are pretty spacious. It’s an open concept with minor walls separating it. There is a balcony with a nice flowing creek. Some cons were how hard it was to open the door to the room, the cracks and paint chips in the bathroom and the dirty ceiling. Breakfast was okay. I love how close it was the boardwalk.

We had a great time at the Sure Stay! It was clean and safe. We were able to walk most places and took the trolley when we got too tired. Pool was great, but cold (it wasn't hot durimg our stay, not their fault). It has a long 3 foot edge which was great for my 5 year old.
