Very clean, Retro/old-school, Florida resort.
Note - Each unit is individually owned, equipped & decorated.
The positives: Excellent beach, Easy access to Publix, restaurants, Sarasota & St. Armand’s, Very friendly and helpful staff, Nice pool with plenty of seating, umbrellas, tables, & nicely maintained grounds. Our unit had everything we needed and we ate most meals there. The towel creations were a nice touch.
The negatives: Was disappointed our balcony was not actually beachfront or even beach view, but I should’ve asked more questions. Unit 49 had one of the most blocked views of the beach. Professional tree trimmers, to maintain proper growth habit, would be highly beneficial. I’d have chosen a different unit, had I known the layout. The queen size bed and Murphy bed were incredibly uncomfortable and felt old. Both should be replaced immediately. Lampshades beside bed were cracked & need to be replaced. Removal of the Murphy bed, adding a comfortable king-sized bed and a full-sized sofa-bed, for more seating, would make more sense, more space & definitely more comfort. I’d stay here again but would speak with management, before booking, about specific units and their amenities.
All in all, we had an incredibly relaxing week and enjoyed our stay, except for having difficulty sleeping comfortably.
