Laidback and relaxing

RELAXING- Comfortable, clean and has everything you need and more. Not an overly crowded area or beach. The sand, water and beach area were awesome, free chairs and umbrellas a plus. Staff very friendly and attentive. We’ll be back again soon! Highly recommend the Blue Dolphin for breakfast or lunch, just down the road.

What we needed

What was I wanted for a restful beach experience. Never looked around and thought something was out of sorts. Well maintained and sharp. Staff was attentive to a couple requests and we were just able to relax and enjoy our time.

Sisters getaway!

The rooms worked well for two sisters getting away for a few days. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom, but could still enjoy the linai together. We found the rooms to be clean, and the kitchen had all the necessary things we needed. It was just a few steps to the beach, and when the sliding glass door was open, we could hear the ocean, otherwise most of the time it was very quiet. This resort is in a good location to restaurants, and both Bradenton and Sarasota. There was some confusion with the bill when it was time to check-out, but after a couple days, we were able to get it worked out. Thank you for some much needed time away with my sister.
