"We had a great stay! Everyone was very friendly. Our room was huge, very clean. It’s pretty quiet at the hotel because it’s at the edge of town, but easily walkable to everywhere. Plus they have the private beach right across the street which was great. Pool was nice too. Definitely will come back!"

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful beach stay and would highly recommend. The staff were excellent-friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The property itself was clean and well-maintained throughout our visit. The amenities were a highlight: the pool and beach access were great, and they provided nice towels that made lounging by the water even better. One of our favorite parts of the trip was enjoying the music and firepit at the Rusty Nail-it was the perfect way to unwind in the evenings. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable beach getaway. We'll definitely be back."
