"Our room was very clean. Loved the "old" Victorian decor! Bed was super comfy. Shower has 2 shower heads, fits 2 people, marble floor, and gold fixtures! Staff was friendly and nice. The pool was beautiful but we didnt swim. Also has a gorgeous bar, pool room to shoot pool - with original wood floors, all decorated in old Florida Victorian style. They do not offer complimentary water in the room but they do offer it for $8 a bottle, $5 for snacks."

The property was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The views were absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. The location was perfect — peaceful and quiet.The management team was incredibly responsive and made the entire process easy from check-in to check-out. You can tell they truly care about their guests’ experience. We especially loved spending time on the porch enjoying the water views.Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable getaway!"

"Thought I was booking a family run old hotel. Turned out no staff on site, needed app to open door, room ceiling leaked into my suitcase, broken arm on couch in lobby, porch furniture was dirty, internet went down so key app did not work, smelled moldy, etc. very disappointing."

"What a beautiful and majestic home….The hosts, Greg and June, were phenomenal! No detail is overlooked and the hospitality was exceptional! We will definitely return!!"

"Overnight stay. The staff was courteous & helpful. Clean room and comfortable beds."

"The place was good value for the price. We only stayed one night. We were not happy that there was not an actual blanket on the bed, however, we did find one in the drawer the next morning. "

"We had a wonderful stay. The location is unbeatable — right on the water with great crabbing and fishing from the dock, and a front‑row seat to an incredible variety of coastal birds. During our visit we saw clapper rails, black skimmers, blue, tri‑colored, and green herons, great, snowy, and cattle egrets, plus Forster’s, royal, sandwich, and least terns.The kitchen was well equipped, including a perfect pot for a crab boil. We also loved how the owner preserved the old oyster house workings in the storage and utility areas. It made the whole place feel genuinely historic and special.The host was responsive, watching the sunrise from the dock was priceless, and staying in such a unique waterfront home made this trip memorable."

"This is a truly a beautiful home! Very large & comfortable interior. The setting on the bay was fabulous. Contacts with the property manager & owner were wonderful; extremely nice folks. The addition of the pool & pier were extra special. We would certainly return anytime! Highly recommend! Tony & Donna"
