Great property on the beach, with parking. The rooms have been updated and clean- with a kitchen an added bonus. The area seems a little dated, but was a great place to travel to st Pete and other areas on the coast.

We had such a wonderful visit! The rooms were so clean. The staff was kind and welcoming! The walk seemed like it was long to the beach but it wasn’t at all. So worth it. The pool and the beach were both beautiful. The sunsets were gorgeous. Walkable to restaurants nearby. We will definitely be back!
