nice place, nice stay, having complimentary beach chairs is very nice and they are heavy duty....but that means they are heavy to carry to the beach, wish they were stored a little closer to the beach

Very convenient location .We walked to get pizza for lunch and then soft serve ice cream at ice cream and candy shop . Staff was very welcoming and smiling . Property need some renovation. Having car infront of the room is a great feature on this property. We had a great experience for our family getaway weekend . Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for something low key southern vibe with sea shells 😊

2nd Time Staying Here..Love it Here
This is our family’s 2nd time staying here for our family vacation. I have a couple medical issues and the hotel was great accommodating me. We’re always pleased when we stay. Plus it’s so close to other places to eat, shop, etc.
