5/5 Excellent

"Nice stay with friendly staff short walk to beach which was beautiful with clear light green water and white fluffy sand. Close to many restaurants and stores...doordash service was quick"

5/5 Excellent

"We drove down from Nashville to stay one night and everything was great. Our room was ready when we went to check in and the room bathroom and bed were all clean. It felt pretty updated and there was no carpet which we liked too. It’s right in the middle of everything and it’s walkable to nearby restaurants and the beach but we drove everywhere still. Any staff we talked to was friendly and helpful. We asked for a late check out and they gave us an extra 30 minutes which was still helpful. Breakfast is just a bagel bar with fruit and oatmeal options. Overall it checked all the boxes and would definitely stay there again next visit."
