Pros- cute establishment and friendly front desk. Free granola bars, crackers and fruit. A water hot and cold filling station. Nice swing with water view. Con- if you get a room close to road it’s like you are sleeping on the highway. Two nights of no sleep.

Nice setting on the gulf: easy walk to the water. No real beach (docks and ramp to put in kayaks or paddle boards, which are available), but nice chaises and hammocks to veg. Room was comfortable, with new vinyl plank floor. Comfy bed. Kitchen table very creaky. Bathroom needs work: lots of peeling from vanity and tight shower stall, though pressure is excellent. No place to unpack: very limited drawer/shelf space; would frustrate travelers staying more than a few nights. Nice touch: K-cups for Keurig, complimentary snacks in the office. Bring your own streaming device.
