The views were beautiful. Staff was lovely, shower had very little hot water and the pressure was very weak. I also found it ridiculous that they charged seven dollars for ice cubes.

The view from the room is very nice, have a good access to the beach, the room was clean but need a small renovation, the water in the bathtub took a long time to drain, the toilet handle was loose and the TV didn’t have much signal.

The view of the gulf and pool was nice. The room was basic but it did have a balcony. The only negative caveat was when we got in oir room their were an old pair of underwear hanging in the bathroom.

Decent place if you’re planning to just sleep there and spend your time elsewhere. Walked into the room around 2am and there was a huge cockroach on the floor so was worried about other bugs. Great beach views and perfect beach access with rentable chairs and umbrellas on the beach. If you need a cheap place on the beach, it’s good for that.

Front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating. View from room was wonderful and queen beds was as comfortable, if not more so, than our beds at home. Only drawback was we went during a major Harley Davidson event. But room managed to keep 90% of the noise out.

We stayed in the second floor so we just had to go down two sets of stairs to get to the beach. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because the stopper in the tub wouldn’t stay up. So while we showered there was water staying in the tub. But that’s the only problem we had with the room.

Its an older property and fridge was a little stubborn. Overall the employees went above and were great. Location is excellent we did not need car entire stay. Resteraunts are right next door and you can walk to shop. We had a great time with no complaints. Gave a 4 due to having to take so many steps and no means other than carrying to get luggage to ocean front.

This is NOT a resort! The room was so dirty that we had to go buy our own cleaning supplies to become comfortable in the room. Do NOT be fooled by the advertised pictures as everything is out-dated. This was like staying at a Motel 6...
