Perfect location!!!

The only problem was the rental store that was located in the same complex closed their doors. We were counting on it being there and didn't bring chairs or umbrella. That was a bummer since most of the chairs and umbrella's out on the beach were pre-reserved long before we got there. Property management should acknowledge the closing of the rental shop in their advertisements.

Booked on short notice, great experience

This was a simple, hotel-style resort. We decided at the last minute to try and go to the beach before school. We also wanted to take our 30 lb dog with us. We booked the resort and the next day the property manager called to make sure she had our details right and see if we had questions. They had a guest portal where I could look up info on the property and where my log in code was communicated. My room was actually ready early and we could get in and drop our things off earlier than 4pm. The room was clean, comfortable, and directly across the road from our beach access. We had a small kitchen type area - a microwave, a dorm type fridge, and a single cup pod coffee maker. Perfect for making our breakfast and lunch in the room. The room was plenty big enough for 2 adults and our HS age child, plus a dog crate and dog bed, and room for our supplies. There was a bench outside our room for putting beach supplies to dry off. There was a dog area with doggie bags to let your pooch walk around on leash as needed. Camille's café was great for morning coffee (and the breakfast/lunch offerings looked really tasty, though we didn't purchase food. ) There was a hang tag you put in the window if you wanted housekeeping or not, and the housekeeping staff was very friendly. There was also a broom and dustpan in the room which was a HUGE help to quickly sweep up sand off the tile floors midstay as needed. It was great for a quick getaway, close to the beach if you needed to run back to the room for food or restroom, and I would definitely stay again.

Nice property, nice location!

This property is very nice & the location is great! The only issue I found was the noise of neighbors & the garbage truck in the early hours of the morning woke us up. Other than that we enjoyed our stay!

Vacation

The room was dirty when we checked in and the cleaning crew had left for the day. We had to sleep in the dirty room and wait until after 2pm the next day for it to be completely cleaned. There is no maintenance staff on the premises and our toilet broke. We had to wait 2 hours on a plumber to come and he woke us up to come in and fix it. They cannot call you in your room after hours and if people do not go by the quiet after 10 ther is no one to enforce it

Beachy Clean

This room was very clean upon arrival. The beds were super comfortable and we slept very well.Housekeeping came each day, so we arrived back to a clean and orderly room. I would definitely recommend the Beachside Inn for those who want to be within walking distance to the beach and near all the best restaurants and shopping. The only minor complaint would be the noise of the trash collectors every morning between 7-7:30. We were two rooms down from trash bins. We are early risers and it wasn't a problem, but I know some people are not. Overall,we were very satisfied.
