My stay at the Castaways was wonderful starting with the welcoming staff. The room was GREAT, very clean and had everything I could have needed. Plenty of clean towels, coffee maker with coffee, microwave and small refrigerator. The view of the river was so nice!! I would certainly come back!!!

The stay was very nice. And I really appreciate the 10 pm quiet policy. I didn’t like that a dumpster was blocking a few parking spots. That made parking a little difficult at times. Staff was very nice and friendly. The dumpster was probably the only bad thing I’d say

Very friendly people checking you in and checking in on you throughout your stay. Lovely place with all the amenities you need. We rented the boat there as well, very friendly helpful people. We had a very enjoyable three night stay. And we can't tell you how great the restaurants are in the area. We went to Drifters first night, great wings, second night Essex House, very delicious seafood and homespun atmosphere, then third night Sparky's, huge portions of really delicious food, highly recommend.
