Liked: Staff & service
Very friendly staff. Great restaurant nearby. Good value. Walls are too thin.
Front desk staff was so nice. Not a fancy property, no elevators, old school vending machines that require cash, but everything is clean, the pool is cute, the beach is right across the street and it was perfect for a quick stay!
An older hotel, with an fantastic person in the reception, whos name was Karen (I believe). She was very warm and caring. The room and hotel is ok. Nothing fancy, but the location with the beach just 4-5 min walkingdistance is fantastic. The beach and the area is wonderful. We had a room towards the street and it was a litte noisy from the street, but i was ok. Its much better with a room towards the back that you also see fantastic houses and watercanals.
It was a great value for the area. We were right on the main strip. Beds and rooms comfortable. The facility very clean. Very accessible very walkable. had a tiny kitchenette in the room. Wonderful view.

Affordable, decent, walkable
Stay was ok, typical older hotel. Front desk staff wasn't there on check in which required waiting 30min. They were clearly overrun with other guests. But we're very friendly and helpful. Beach was close, few good places to eat within in a few mins walk.
Karen at the front desk went above and beyond for my birthday, her kindness and service was unmatched - thank you Ms Karen for ensuring my birthday trip was absolutely amazing! Super convenient to walk to get food and the beach is only a block away! The room was awesome with a nice canal view
we had a lovely experience at the fenwick islander. it was clean, well-maintained, and in a great location. Karen at the front desk was extremely friendly and accommodating as well! she answered all of our questions, helped us navigate the area’s public transportation options, and gave us great suggestions for dining.
Easy check-in and very professional check-in staff. Able to get the room ahead of schedule, and room was very clean and comfortable. Good pick for stay!
I took my husband and son here for Father's day weekend. It was our first family trip & first time staying here. It was awesome that we had a pool and it was a short walk to a private beach. I would definately say this will be my go to for all future beach trips!
