Optimist Park

Friendly and accommodating manager and good price.

We stayed here over the 4th of July holiday weekend and there was an awesome display of fireworks that we could watch right from the pool! That was very nice and we didn’t have to go anywhere. We also liked that it had a marina so we could leave our boat in the water right in front of our room. However, the area around the docks and getting from your boat to the hotel were not very good. It was very hard to navigate your way from the boat slips back up to the hotel. And everything was rickety and falling apart or non existent. The fences were falling down and looked like if you touched them they would fall over and nothing looked or felt very safe. No clear walk ways or docks to get from one side to the other. Definitely needs to be updated. The room was very very damp! A whole lot of moisture in the room and our clothes and the sheets felt wet. The room had a smell too. Not sure if it was from the moisture or from the indoor outdoor type carpet that looked fairly new. The room did feel and look clean though other than the dampness. Nice view from the balcony. The pool was pretty big, clean, and clear but the pool deck and chairs could use some cleaning. It was convenient and affordable. It could be a really nice place with a little updating and TLC!

Great location, friendly staff. Wifi was terrible, even on Sunday when most of the rooms were empty. There should also be a shower station to wash sand off feet on the walkway from beach.
