Great property to stay at. The beach is a 4 minute drive, Mexican restaurant and shaved ice shop right next to the property and shopping district in walking distance with golf cart rental businesses all around.

The room was great for the price. Everything was clean and eye appealing. Plenty of space for 4 people to sleep in room. A/C kept room nice and cold. I didn’t like that I couldn’t get a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning, and the shower drain smelt like rotten eggs, but otherwise a great place to stay

An older, family-owned property that's been fixed up. Small, tight bathroom but clean. Bed was clean and comfortable. TV had lots of channels including nearly all the sports channels (ESPN family, SEC, ACC, etc.) A good value.

The layout of the property is wonderful. Very easy parking and a super nice green open space in the middle. Along with a very enjoyable pool and jacuzzi. Well maintained property, near a bird sanctuary, also. Many birds flying overhead. It adds to the ambiance The room space is a little cramped, but in good shape. And a superb air conditioning unit, which is well appreciated. The staff is friendly and responsive.

Always a wonderful time staying here. This is our go to spot every trip. The staff is so kind and polite. We never have any problems. You can lounge right outside your door and meet your neighbors. They got a park for kids with grills outside too. 10/10 recommend.

Everyone here was so lovely. They are family owned and run, but it doesn’t feel like a camera is on you 24/7. Check in was nice and easy and even let us come a few hours early since a room was ready for us. Will be back!!

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
We have stayed here many times in the past. The other times the rooms have been clean. Not this time. Our room looked like it’s not been cleaned in awhile. Our heater did not work well. Our window blew air in. We saw 3 very LARGE roaches. The refrigerator did not work well. The maintenance guy was very friendly and nice.

The location was perfect to shopping, fishing, and the beach. The center of the property was lush with thick green carpet grass that included several picnic areas with bbq pits. It also has a playground, swings, horseshoes, pool and jacuzzi. Also there are rustic double chairs with a table which provides a little seating area right outside of your room. Our stay was perfect our family rented a few rooms and it was nice to gather in park area as we called it. Loved it and we have already booked another stay.

We just love this place. Its our 3rd time to stay here. Clean,friendly staff and the rooms are spacious and very clean. Pool is amazing as always! Location is great close to everything you can walk or head right across the street and rent a golf cart. We only booked for 1 night but as we were checking in,we booked another night.

Stayed here before
Ive stayed here before with family but that that was about 10 years ago and nothing has changed for the better here. If you are looking for just a stay and not expecting much then this is your place. Our TV was not working and when maintenance came they could not get it working so we got upgraded to another room. The staff is friendly and will make sure you have what you need and they gave us plenty of towels. Location is convient to places in the area that i usually visit so that was a plus for me
