Our party had 3 rooms over Mother's Day 2013. The check in was easy and the staff very friendly. Room had a few small maintenance issues but I would stay there again. Screens on the balconies need to be removed or replaced. Lots of tears in them which won't keep bugs out anyway. I think the balcony would be much... More

Looked into this little hotel as a quick weekend getaway instead of staying down Gulf Drive at one of the big resorts. What a smart move! Friendly Staff! You will enter your room from an outside corridor and parking lot. Your room views overlook the pool looking to the East. We had room 116, a 2 bedroom 2 bath with... More

We enjoyed our three night stay. The only issue we encountered was hot water. Not much of it! We loved the porch that faced the water. It wasn't fancy but it was comfortable. The staff was nice and the location perfect.

Great place for a quiet, easy going vacation. You can't get any closer to the beach! Everyone was friendly and helpful...everything we wanted without paying $$$ for things we did not need or want. The rooms were clean, newly renovated and the screen porch was great! We used the bikes to do some sightseeing and some shopping...one day walked to... More

I stayed here 5 times. It is very quiet, bikes to use are free and fun, and the beach is right out your door. The rooms were clean, I was able to get into my room in a timely manor and staff was accommodating. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the family.
