The unit was dated and not clean to my standards (hair in bathtub, sand on floor, towels and sheets yellowed and some stains). The couch was sunken in and very uncomfortable. The ice box had a broken door. Furniture overall was not in the best shape. The views however, were spectacular from the unit all around!

Needs some common sense issues dealt with.

I expected more! The staff were very friendly. I didn't care for the room. Very few amenities. You had to ask for everything. No house keeping service unless requested. Ice machine broken. Hot tub broken. Old small toilets. Living space furniture uncomfortable. Dining table chairs loose and wobbling. Refrigerator arms inside door were broken. The a/c was cold but only in certain areas. It could have used some ceiling fans. There was some mold and chalking issues. The bed howerever was comfortable. Movies in the living room area but not in the bedroom. Only basic cable. The pool was was just ok. Nice balcony and view of the beach and ocean. No free breakfast or free coffee in the lobby.

The property is the same as it was when I went over 10 years ago. The sofa bed was not comfortable at all and it was so noisy every time I moved. There were flies in the room too. The staff wasn’t helpful and didn’t offer any help with concerns. I will say it’s a good secluded resort which I liked when I went before, but it is not convenient to walk anywhere just FYI. The beach outside is clean

If you like the beach and/or birdwatching, this is the place to stay! Every room has beach views and you can easily use the parking deck to survey the marsh and inlet areas for birds. I've stayed here a couple of times now and added lifers (new birds) each time! The staff has always been exceptionally friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant is really good also. Having the ocean right outside the door is absolutely amazing also! Now for the cons: The beds are lined up against the wall with the sidewalk right outside and there are windows above the beds making it a little weird to think people could be right there by your head. There are no blackout curtains which means the bedroom is lit up by the security lights and for someone who needs complete darkness to sleep it makes it difficult. The bed was a little lumpy also so getting really rested was a challenge. We tried the pullout bed in the living room and that helped the light situation but was not super comfortable. I don't remember the bed being that uncomfortable the first time I stayed there but honestly, I'll sacrifice a couple of night's sleep for the proximity of the beach, inlet, and marsh for the birding.
