Last minute overnight stay
Bridget at front desk was very helpful. Hotel/Rooms could be updated but had everything you needed. Clean rooms and very spacious. Best views from balcony that was very large and on waterfront. Easy access to walk the beach and indoor pool. Wish we could get a last minute deal price this summer! We would stay for a Week!

Room had several air purifiers in the space, along with a musty smell. We only stayed for a few hours - after returning from dinner after checking in, we found that the bed linens not only hadn't been changed, but were stained, wet, and had some sort of bodily fluids on them. Due to booking with Expedia, we were unable to get a refund, but we left and drove home at midnight rather than stay another minute at this place.

The decor in the rooms is pretty dated. They actually upgraded me, and were very kind, but the living area and bedroom looked like they were pulled out of an 80s jc penney catalogue.

This condo was so accessible for us—parking, outside access, taking dog out. No steps!! The condo had comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, large living room area with RECLINER!! The pool was nice. The cookout was great. The only negative is very difficult to get to the water. Would be nice to have something over sand that can be walked on with cane or wheelchair. Would love to return.
