The property is the same as it was when I went over 10 years ago. The sofa bed was not comfortable at all and it was so noisy every time I moved. There were flies in the room too. The staff wasn’t helpful and didn’t offer any help with concerns. I will say it’s a good secluded resort which I liked when I went before, but it is not convenient to walk anywhere just FYI. The beach outside is clean

If you like the beach and/or birdwatching, this is the place to stay! Every room has beach views and you can easily use the parking deck to survey the marsh and inlet areas for birds. I've stayed here a couple of times now and added lifers (new birds) each time! The staff has always been exceptionally friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant is really good also. Having the ocean right outside the door is absolutely amazing also! Now for the cons: The beds are lined up against the wall with the sidewalk right outside and there are windows above the beds making it a little weird to think people could be right there by your head. There are no blackout curtains which means the bedroom is lit up by the security lights and for someone who needs complete darkness to sleep it makes it difficult. The bed was a little lumpy also so getting really rested was a challenge. We tried the pullout bed in the living room and that helped the light situation but was not super comfortable. I don't remember the bed being that uncomfortable the first time I stayed there but honestly, I'll sacrifice a couple of night's sleep for the proximity of the beach, inlet, and marsh for the birding.

Loved the beach! Very private and lots of room to walk! Property is somewhat dated, but room was sufficient. Liked the oceanview balcony and windows, kitchette, and 2 toilets. Pool area is nice, but no view of ocean, only the sand dunes.

The elevators are in need of updating and cleaner rugs. Perhaps a good coat of paint would improve the look. The staff was GREAT AND HELPFUL! Were repeat guests. Our plan is to return We’ve recommended your establishment to family and friends. We do not want them to be disappointed. Thank you for everything.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

No

While overall it was a good stay I wouldn’t use this location again. The reception was always understaffed. Staff seemed disinterested. The room was subpar - water pressure was pitiful, and when you turned the water on it smelled bad. Towels and toilet paper were very thin. Lastly, the bed was too soft and squeaked, and the balcony chairs were very uncomfortable. I was overcharged for the room and the excuse they gave was it was because it was on a Sunday. And the extra $25 per day facility fee is bullsh*t. The view is very good. That’s about it.
