We love visiting this property! It's been a few years since we stayed, mostly due to Covid, and higher prices, but you didn't disappoint us! Still a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. We personally like the Bay Side rooms, with the large docks just outside your room. Being pet friendly was a plus for us, as well as the swimming pool and that view!! The beach is directly across the street, as are restaurants.l

Rooms were very adequate with full kitchen and queen bed and pull out sleeping couch for guests. The resort was on the intercoastal waterway with docks,boat slips and nice tiki huts with shade and picnic tables. Nice view out back with a constant breeze blowing.Also was pet friendly with doggy areas.

Should not be called “resort”
Right by a Main Street, very cheap soap. Old towels. Toilet not flushing , unable to regulate the shower temperature, the turning knob was loose, the fan from ac ran all night . Ac units on the roof , would vibrate the whole house. At $300 per night one expect different conditions.

We loved our stay! We are walking wanderers so this spot was very centralized and easy walk in either direction to any bar or restaurant, or just a short drive to anything 2 miles north or south. It was great to have access to the bigger pool at the plaza and beach access with our wristbands. It was a great room and perfect for us and we would definitely stay here again!

It was ok
I am rating the stay a 6. The stay was accommodating for my family as far as being just enough room for us. I did like that the kitchen was big enough to move around in. The living room area was big enough. The customer service was excellent. Everyone is very prompt responding. I like that there is private access to the beach but just keep in mind that you have to walk up and across the street. I did not like that as soon as you open the door you are greeted to a queen size bed with a very narrow path to walk in order to get to everything else. The bed should be where the living room is located. . The sheets were stained and had a ton of lint balls on them. The next morning we got new sheets and they were much better. The shower pressure wasn’t good and the shower area was very tight. The WiFi didn’t work it actually made my phone slow down when I signed into it. The cable channel line up is not accurate. Disney, Nickelodeon, and all the other channels did not work the TV displayed “no signal” only the news channels worked. I think the cable is disconnected and the channel list in the rooms need to be removed. Also the 1 bedroom with living room pictures on here are not the correct layout. There wasn’t a balcony to sit out on and the room was not spacious as the photos are advertising. Other than that it was an ok stay stay.
