This was a great find in the middle of a road trip. Will definitely stay here again if we’re ever in the area. The restaurant is excellent, some of the best fresh seafood we’ve had in Florida this trip. The owner, staff and locals were great to chat with.

We love this place

This is one of our favorite locations for a quiet weekend getaway. The on-site restaurant is delicious and so convenient, we never have to leave. The sunsets are beautiful and right out your window. You can walk right across the quiet street to have an even closer view. There is a tiki bar also right across the street who has live music. We love this location to relax and recharge on a quick weekend getaway.

Old Florida vibe; great value for Gulfview lodging

Visited from Maryland; stayed one night, as I was here to visit family member in a long term care facility in Hudson. I enjoyed the Old Florida vibe of the motel; the staff were courteous; enjoyed the view from the porch; the chairs and tables on the patio; close proximity to restaurants, ice cream shop; beautiful views of the Gulf; and the size of my suite was a pleasant surprise. Great value overall for beachfront lodging. Thank you! I will definitely stay again!

Hard to find front counter to check in. Floors have been upgraded it seems, like the fact there was a small kitchen area and dining table. Living room furniture was dirty and too big for the roomq
