Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The outside of our room smelled like sewage when we arrived. Our mattress was so old that it was tilted towards one side. The walls or windows are so thin that we could hear conversation until well into the early morning hours. The “free breakfast” is stale muffins and granola bars. Overall, definitely not a place I’ll return. Only redeeming feature was the service which was friendly and organized.

The property was well kept. Check in was easy, the room was large with high ceilings and a ceiling fan. Bed was very comfortable. Wonderful pier and gazebo in which to watch the beautiful sunsets. Staff did whatever they could to be sure the guests had everything they need.

Loved the location Some of the walkways need repairs to the boards. Some sections were new & they were working on those sections when we were there. Had a room with a view. The beds were very firm which made it a little uncomfortable to sleep. The room we had was very spacious.

My husband & stayed in a sound side room and view was amazing. The place was clean & folks were friendly. We saw a few does & a buck in the parking lot. Heater was a little noisy and bed was not as comfortable as we would prefer, but I definitely would stay here again.

I love traveling but one thing I hate is knowing I have to lay my head down in a room that is not mine. My stay and my room was exceptional!! Clean, clean, clean. I felt so comfortable. The atmosphere was very peaceful and I loved being on the water. I will definitely be back !!!

You are paying for the beautiful views. Don’t expect any hotel perks. You are lucky to have a television that works, much less a refrigerator we had to have both replaced several times in a 4 day stay.
