After a rough check-in, we received a warm reach-out from management and the rest of our stay was excellent. Great facilities, great location, friendly staff, clean, etc. Maybe some kinks to work out still with transition of ownership, but we’d stay again for sure.

Property was well kept. The only complaint I have was the pool was kind of cloudy but by the day we were leaving it had cleared considerably. Everything else outweighed the cloudiness of the pool. Will definitely stay again.

The property was extremely well maintained, we truly enjoyed the well kept grounds between the building and the beach. The landscaping contained a wonderful variety and was in full color gorgeous. All the staff was extremely courteous and friendly. It was unfortunate that the pool was closed due to "mechanical issues." We would stay again.

Great Property but could offer complimentary coffee or such from lobby area in the mornings and parking can be interesting. Staff and property were Awesome!!
Stayed 2 nights in May 2025

Many changes to the facility and service have been made including the entrance, much more accomodating, the pool area access, now from the main lobby, and a new bar off the main lobby. A room snack and drink allowance and gratis beach chairs and umbrellas are a great change. We also enjoyed the Fellow hot water makers and Huck coffee in the rooms! Great idea.
