Perfect location
The place was very clean and the staff were very friendly! The price you can't beat and it really is right across the street from the beach. Most people fib about that so I was very worried but the location was perfect. They also offer free rental paddleboards and kayaks for the bay side as well.

Great place to vacation
The hotel was very convenient to everything in the area. Could walk or bike (the hotel offers bikes to ride or golf cart rides). It was very comfortable and gave the whole beach feel to my vacation. I really enjoyed it.

Amazing hotel
We had such a great time! Staff is friendly, informative, and accommodating. Only wish we could’ve stayed longer. We were most impressed with the variety of amenities. Having so many options at our disposal was convenient. So much to do so little time! We will definitely be coming back!

Location, location, location!
An older motel with the best staff and perfect location. The a/c was cold, the showers were warm and the beds were ridiculously comfortable after a day in the sun. We took advantage of the free kayaks and paddle boards at the hotel’s little beach and then walked across the road to the Gulf at the public beach and missed all the traffic and parking issues. A great little gem!
