The property was selected due to its location which is excellent, the place otherwise is average and no pool is a killer. For the money on a holiday weekend I’d say it was acceptable

It was like a block or two away from the beach. The bed was very comfortable. It was nice and clean. There really isn’t enough stuff there but my weekend was nice and comfortable and clean. It needs a little upgrading cause it’s an old place but still.

The owner not only provided me with a reservation within an hour but is the nicest person I’ve met in Florida. This is such a great place to stay when you just need a little quiet space to be. I can’t thank you enough.

Everything was good. Facilities were clean. Wouldn't call it impeccable. But it was a good value and the location is great as it's 1 block to the beach. That's what we came for, so it served us well.

We had such a great little getaway! The location was perfect — close to the beach and all the nice restaurants, which made everything super convenient. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. The lady who was cleaning was so kind and helpful during check-in, which made us feel very welcome. It was me, my daughter, and two of her friends, and we all had the best time. Highly recommend!

My partner and I stayed here for her birthday, and it was amazing! It’s only about an 8-minute walk to St. Armands Circle and even less to the beach. The space was clean and comfortable—definitely a 10/10 stay. Some of the appliances could use an upgrade, but we were told that renovations were already underway during our visit, so I can’t wait to see the updates next time. We even tried to extend our stay, but the secret is clearly out about this place—it was fully booked! We’re already looking forward to coming back.
