Room was very spacious, clean and new. Everything was well stocked for the bathroom and kitchen needs. Staff was very nice and attentive. The beach was beautiful as always. Know before booking there is no pool. There is one washer and dryer on the grounds for the guest to use without charge. Overall the stay was excellent.

Love how quiet and private the beach is here. Nothing flashy here. Just the beach and a decent room. Close to Jerrys grocery and Doc Fords. What more could you ask for. Staff is friendly and rooms are nice overall. Only complaints was the AC not working which we did not realize until later when we got back from dinner. Too late to really get anything done about it. The furniture in this room was little dirty. Could use a steam cleaning. We will come back because overall it is what we are looking for. Beachfront. Remember that this area has a lot of damage still unattended to from the hurricane. Keep that in mind. A lot of fenced in construction type scenery.

A piece of heaven on earth. Hurricane Ian left it’s mark, and the area is working hard to recover. Rented bikes and toured the island, amazing. Sea Shells are the stars of the show! Helpful staff, roomy, clean and beautiful apartment. Fully stocked kitchen is a plus.

Fantastic little spot. The room is more like a condo than a hotel-all with views of the beach Everything was spotless and new. Ned was comfortable. Love that there was a table and chairs on the screen patio. Will definitely be back!

We had a lovely but short stay (1 night) and would love to return. Our room was clean, comfortable and in pristine condition. The little mangrove plant in our unit was a great way to seamlessly incorporate ecotourism. I think my favorite memory is sitting outside at night with nothing but the moonlight to illuminate the sea and the total quiet of the island except for the gentle sound of waves hitting the shore. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely care about their guests’ experience. Absolute gem of a vacation spot, we can’t wait to return.
