This property is excellent! the room itself was underwhelming upon arrival. it was dated, small, but perfectly clean and big enough for our family of four to only run into each other a little. The good news is you will not want to bother being in the room, because you are just steps from a gorgeous, nearly private beach. The resort provides beach chairs and umbrellas that they set up daily, there are beach towels, bikes, kayaks and paddle boards, among other things. The pool is a good size, and located just feet from the rooms. You could spend several days at the property and still wish you had more time in the tiny room. Breakfast was grab and go, nothing fancy, but tasty and they provided bags so we could bring our breakfast to the beach (watch for sneaky crows if you leave it unattended though). We would 100% stay here again, happily.

Jessica United States of America

The facility was great - close proximity to the beach, cleanliness met expectations, friendly staff, access to bikes made it easy to travel to close locations on the island.

Tracy United States of America

The breakfast was good, and the location had a good view of the gulf. Very nice.

Juanita United States of America

Location to the beach, pool was easy to access, free use of bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards. Good breakfast.

Linda United States of America

Amenities were great: Bikes, shuffle board, beach, pool, breakfast, kayaks--so much to do!

Karen United States of America

Beach access and the setup by the staff of umbrellas and beach chairs was appreciated. The use of bicycles, continental breakfast and room near the pool area were fantastic. My family throughly enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. Also, having access to the sister properties, especially the pickle ball courts, was also enjoyed by all. The room was nice, but is definitely showing some wear and tear. Also, very much appreciated was access to laundry facilities, as well. The pool was also enjoyed by all. There was an extensive variety of choices to choose from; something for everyone!

Marcia United States of America

Christina United States of America
