SkyBeach Resort is a hidden gem! This is a great place to vacation. The resort is small and lovely. It's right on the beach. There are also two pools with hot tubs. The views are fabulous. There is a restaurant & bar as well as a coffee shop on site. The food is quite good. The grounds here are beautiful and well maintained. The whole place is great! Rooms are very clean, housekeeping staff is the absolute best! The staff here is friendly and attentive. I could live here happily ever after!! Highly recommend!

The room was clean and modern, no carpets, which is always a good thing, the amenities also very good, however the downside I would like to mention is that even when the property is in front of a small beach, most of the rooms, at least the one located on the lower floor, have no direct view to the water, hence the room description when you’re booking can be misleading…otherwise it seems to be a good place to stay.

My wife and I booked a Waterside Premier Room at SkyBeach Resort to celebrate our 11th anniversary. We even arranged an overnight sitter and were excited for a relaxing staycation close to home. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Upon arrival, we were told the resort had overbooked our room and moved us to a lesser Marina-side room. The front desk staff was friendly and offered a $50 food credit and to waive the resort fee, but it was disappointing to start our anniversary this way, especially since we had confirmed our room days in advance. The new room was fine but definitely not what we paid for. We tried to make the best of it and went to the bar to use our credit. Service started out okay but quickly declined. Our appetizer took about 45 minutes to arrive and was lukewarm when it did, suggesting it had been sitting out. Our entrées—a soft-shell crab sandwich and a po’ boy—arrived an hour later and were cold. The staff member who brought them apologized, saying he wasn’t sure how long they’d been waiting. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi, which were clean and relaxing, but later that night I received a bill missing our $50 credit. I had to go back to the front desk the next morning to have it fixed. Overall, SkyBeach Resort has great potential with its beautiful setting and amenities, but the lack of organization and inconsistent service made our anniversary stay disappointing—especially for the price and occasion.

Property is still going through an update from a motel to "resort". They created a small make shift beach area at the marina, No one got in the water so I didnt either. But It does have a nice ambiance. My issues began when I realized my tub/ shower did not work. The only resolve was for me to use a shower in another room. So at 2 am I had to go outside to get downstairs to the room. The receptionist assured me that I should be receiving compensation upon checkout, because they know some rooms have no water. However upon checkout we were told that they could not do anything referring me to expedia. When expedia tried contacting them, while I was still there, they refused to answer their call. Then lied and said I was compensated and was not owed anything further. I would not recommend this location as it seems compensations or refunds are only offered to people of a certain skin color while others are dismissed.
