Such an amazing experience! John is wonderful, so inviting, friendly and hospitable! The only thing I wish we would’ve known ahead of time is that we had a complete kitchenette and the ability to cook in our room. Can’t wait to stay again!

On the Gulf side. Right by the beach. Great location. Had hammocks, paddleboard, kayaks, and bikes to barrow for free and games by the pool. Little older property, but has had upgrades recently. Would recommend and looking forward to staying again.
