Enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect! Best place to stay if you don’t want the crowds and steps to the pool and short walk to the beach. Having the beach loungers and umbrellas were so nice! The kitchen area and living room were nice. Bed was comfortable, but pillows could be updated. Not much storage in the bathroom but we made it work. We were there for the beach so it didn’t break our weekend. Loved the area!

Great location just steps from the beach. Nice room for a little family weekend trip. The beach was beautiful & lots to do around the area. Definitely would love to come back!

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed here several times. Our room was adequate. Water pressure in shower and bathroom sink was horrible. The bed in this unit needs to be replaced. So uncomfortable. Felt like we were sleeping on hard springs. TV was nice in sitting room. Management was wonderful as always and very accommodating. Washers and dryers are old and need to be replaced. Overall housekeeping and cleanliness of room was satisfactory. Couch in sitting room needs to be replaced. Very old and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, during our stay the pool area was overtaken by a large group of guests playing loud music and monopolizing every table and chair. We couldn't get in and out of the pool because they had tied up a beach umbrella to the handrail and using the steps to get in and out of the pool was not an option. In the past our stays have been quiet and very little guests. And the biggest turn off with the pool area is that guests were coming straight from the beach and not rinsing off and the pool was filled with sand and not so clean. Plus, my wife and I did not see one guest exit the pool to use a bathroom all day leaving us to believe that the pool was the bathroom. I mean we were at the pool from 9am to 4pm every day and not one person got out except for my wife and I to use the facilities. Finally, the outside patio sitting area needs new furniture. Some chairs are damaged. And the screened in porch needs to be replaced. Many holes in the screen causing critters to get in. And the door latch on the screen door was broke. Someone prior to us staying there broke the screen to unlatch the door and we did get locked out a few times. Would we stay there again, yes. It's our Florida spot and always has been. But definitely would stay in a different room or updated room for the amount of money we pay to stay there.
