We had a queen room that was super small and rated as ocean view. No room in the bathroom to put anything around the sink while you are getting ready. Area where the bed is is so tight you have to get on the bed from the foot of the bed. Definitely not the best room we have ever had. The property did seem nice but be aware there is a $35 resort fee and all I saw was about 5 kayaks??? Not worth $35 in my opinion. There is also not enough parking spots for all guests and we had to park on the road next to our tiny room. I would probably not stay there again. At least not in room 14b!!

Hotel manager just isn’t professional had to call twice and leave messages to extend my stay. Only to find Shower pressure is a dribble and won’t get hot. No privacy in room as there are only blinds that you can see through. Remote for the ac unit had dead batteries and wouldn’t operate and it’s 30 degrees out today. Just a tired place and not worth the price for sure. Won’t be back way too many other good options

The property itself was ok (nice view with the beach walk-out unit) however there was no actual beach so their photos were very deceiving; our King suite with kitchen meant for four people was really sub-par. The single bathroom was so tiny your knees hit the wall when going to the bathroom and the sink had a large crack in it; on check-in we asked for extra pillows and was told by the property manager he would “try his best” which I guess was code for “no” because the pillows never came (the six pillows in the unit were smaller than standard pillows and simply not enough for our party). When coming home for dinner we went to close the curtain over the sliding glass door and the entire thing fell off the wall - since there is no manager on site after 5pm we had to rig the curtain to stay up until they could be notified in the morning…The next morning we went to get ice for the room but the ice machine did not work or was empty (the property manager brought some a while later). Seriously disappointing for the price and will definitely not be back…

Great stay, better than I even expected from the pictures. Quiet, quaint little place right on the water. The edge is actually a dock, but it looks like it’s right on its own, private, wide beach! The internet was good - I had a half day of doing Zoom work calls and had no problems. It’s quiet, the bed and pillows were comfortable, and the coffee in the room was strong and good. Close to a couple restaurants within walking distance, one of which was dockside with outdoor seating that was so relaxing (Island Grill). Definitely would stay again.

The room was clean, property is nice, pool is really heated and lovely to get in and out. Most places lie about heating their pool this one is for real! Daniel in the office is super great! They have bikes and kayaks to use, that is included in your resort fee.( which is reasonable). Definitely be back☀️.
