This place was amazing! I’m usually an ocean front girl but this definitely changed my mind with a room literally on the bay and on the ground floor. I would definitely go back. And the ladies in the office were so nice. Hidden gem for sure.

Staff changed - Thank God!
We have been coming here for 30 years. It was unfortunate that the last few years, staffing was something to be desired, if you know what I mean. However, they have done an excellent job of getting rid of the riff-raff employees and hiring a new and smiling staff! Everyone was so great on our last trip there. We'll be back. Our room on the first floor, bay side, was updated with paint, carpet and pictures. But they do need to address the fridge area, screens on the patio door and those rickety-rackety a/c which have been there as long as we have been coming. When checking out, one guest said it sounded like a garbage disposal. I would have to agree. Very loud!

The property and area outside by the bay are nice and peaceful. The rooms could use some updates though.  The bathroom tub was dirty and felt like we were going to drop through it. The room itself was not very clean, I had to clean a bit when we checked in because there was sand on the dresser and tile floor, and the tv screem was smeared with something. We had a nice stay but would look elsewhere next time.

The staff was very pleasant and very helpful with restaurant suggestions and town highlights. It was very convenient to be able to walk out back and rent paddleboards/kayaks.

The balcony door lock was broken. The air conditioner was very loud. I did not receive the room that I reserved. Website photos were deceptive.
