Cute spot.

The front desk guy was so nice, really just a very friendly guy and I appreciate that. The room was a bit hot -the ac wasn’t working right, it was blowing but not cold air unfortunately. The room itself and bathroom were super cute, the bed and pillows were very comfy, it was nice and quiet and I rested very well other than being a little hot.

My boyfriend and I stayed here one night on Saturday, March 8th. The property was okay...but not anywhere near worth $400 for the night..even on a Saturday during spring break. Biggest issue was the old TV in the room - the screen died after 15mins of use. It came back on after 5minutes, and then died again promptly after that.. I let the office know, and the next day they called me saying "the TV is perfectly fine." So, they don't believe their guests when they say something is wrong. No refund either. So if you stay in Room 16, beware that the old TV dies after 15 minutes of being on.

Disappointing. Not as pictured. It’s not really a beach and you can’t get in the water from property. It’s on a sea wall. Very clean. Bathroom was tiny and futon/couch very uncomfortable as a couch.

Air conditioners are fully of mold, blowing directly into your face in bed. I refused to let me family stay there. Checked out as fast as I checked in. Still have not received a refund from Expedia or the property for the resort and pet fee.

Retro trailer

We stayed in the single wide retro trailer. Definitely added a unique experience. Old trailer in much need of updates but the views, property, and staff make up for what the trailer lacks.

I felt like an employee having to get fresh towels, cleaning the room and bathroom, delivering dirty towels, asking and finding staff for coffee packets, and toiletries. Noisy room with very early traffic noise, and an air conditioning unit in the bedroom closet that was absolutely filthy with dust and as loud as the traffic. No staff on the premises in the evening. If you needed help you had to call. No phone in the room, so cell phone needed to be charged for any emergency.

Awesome spot! Beautiful location!

Wonderful ocean front spot! Clean, comfortable bed and linens, great balcony and view, friendly staff! Loved the paddle boards and heated pool. Grounds have hammocks, games and loungers on the beach. Incredible sunrise and sunset, good location and easy to access. Can’t wait to stay again!
