Good on a budget

They charged an extra $16 resort fee at check in. They then made me sign an agreement to be evicted without refund if any guest complains for noise for any reason. AC fan was loud and rackety and ran all night. Bay beach set up was super cool. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The property is a bit dated, but was decent. We didn’t use the kitchen stuff much but appreciated that they had dishcloths and towels for our few dishes.

Unfortunate birthday trip

Room was flooding, was moved to a bayside room to compensate, went from King bed reserved for Fiance's birthday to a room with two small beds. Was told no other King room was possible. Listing said pool open in may, was not open. Keycards did not work for half the stay, to get into room you would need someone from the office with an administrative key every time. Hate writing this review because the staff was kind and seemed to be doing there best. Hopefully they figure things out for the summer season, but I can't honestly recommend them to anyone.

Great place to stay

The room was great, but husband and I are in our 70's and three flights of stairs was a bit much with luggage and two dogs. Staff was great, super friendly, the view was awesome, did kayaking with my one dog on the one beautiful day that we had out of four. Weather is what it is so you just grin and bear it. We would definitely stay there again, but on the first floor.

Dated, but clean. Worth the money, kinda. Our room had something odd on the counter. Fridge didn’t work. Toilet sink very close, you kinda had to shimmy in to wash hands. Didn’t pay much attn other than that and it was just an overnight, so it did not matter to us. Had I stayed longer I would have asked for another room. The place was clean. You could walk places. You could sit next to the water. We’d try here again for a longer stay.

The property was clean but could use a refresh. For the price it is a great deal. It is in a great location, walkable to the beach and entertainment. The ability to walk out of the room to sit on a private balcony or patio and watch the sun set over the bay in very nice. The staff were very courteous and helpful. I must not have read the fine print well enough and was shocked by the $175 fee for bringing a pet. That cost is for the week. Also a $16 fee for parking.

I liked the ability to walk to the beach and bay easily. Multiple coffee options nearby. I was surprised by the "resort" fee at check in. Additional $ to cover parking, pool (which was not open yet and scummy), and some games out back that we didn't play. Perhaps that fee was mentioned on the description and we missed it.
