"We had a wonderful stay and were pleasantly surprised by how great the overall experience was! The location was perfect, the amenities were excellent, and everything was spotless. But what truly made our stay special was the outstanding service from the staff. A special shoutout to Danelis at the front desk, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and thoughtful. We were celebrating a birthday, and she went out of her way to leave a little surprise in our room. That personal touch truly made a difference and made us feel extra special. It’s that kind of genuine hospitality that sets a hotel apart. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great stay and exceptional service!"

"I can’t breathe enough about how convenient this place is to the beach and the bars and restaurants and the community. It was very nice very clean beautiful spot. The only downfall was the check-in. I’m old school and you have to do this lockbox thing and we weren’t used to that but other than that the Jacuzzi was really hot, but it didn’t bubble it just shot out hot water from the jets which really wasn’t what I wanted so the Jacuzzi could’ve been better and the biggest complaint was there is no freaking ice machine on the property we stayed at I’ve never heard of a hotel that didn’t have an ice machine! The room was very nice. We got a king size bed. The bathroom was so tiny and there was no room for a woman to put her makeup on in other words there was no vanity area or shelving other than that it was wonderful."

"The space was bigger than expected which was a nice surprise. There is a musty smell in the unit. The deck has some rotting boards and the steps seemed to be really warn and soft. The unit was nice and clean with everything you may need for a vacation in the beach. I would suggest some softer comforters in the beds as the ones provided were stiff and itchy. Thanks"
