Very clean. With all the amenities that you can think of. Although it was not directly on the beach, it was conveniently located in front of the pathway to the beach. Property owners and staff were great to deal with, super friendly. Will definitely go back.

The town was just getting over a major hurricane with debris everywhere. Our building and grounds were clean and ready to go. Check in was easy and the staff was great. Wonderful job, it couldn't have been easy.

Fantastic stay!
Beautiful property, clean rooms and quiet. Absolutely loved the decorations. Had so much fun and definitely will come back. They provide all the goodies for fun at the beach. Great location with a few really good restaurants near by. Stephanie was super helpful. If I could make one tiny suggestion for the owners, there are only two wagons for hauling your chairs/coolers/umbrella and such to the beach. Guests tend to hide them in their rooms overnight to make sure they have one the next day. Adding a couple would be nice. Not super important, just convenience. Can't wait to come back!
