I really loved the pool and the place looks great. But the only complaint I have. Is I have a bad back and the beds are horribly stiff. You need softer beds. I know they make them because we stay at lots of hotels. It was hard to sleep and back was killing me in morning.

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!!

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 2 nights for a weekend getaway. Paid for 2 nights upfront plus additional deposit. Options were $100 cash or $125 for Credit card deposit. Parking is limited, tight and difficult to pull out of if trailers are left unhooked. AC was cold but we were told not to adjust the AC or it may freeze and not work again. Room was ok but the pull-out couch looked dingy. Biggest disappointment was the cockroaches, spiders and insects we had. After check-in I looked up previous reviews and saw multiple complaints of the cockroaches. Owner replies they are family owned, do not have a roach problem but they have pest control come in once a month. I recommend pest control comes twice a month. My husband found 2 dead roaches in the bathroom when we arrived. After that it was a spider in the corner of the shower, water bugs and other pests from the shower drain or under the sink. I killed at least 5 different, LARGE roaches and we had to always wear shoes and leave the bathroom light on so we didn't step on bugs in the middle of the night. I had asked housekeeping if they had any bug spray I could use and was told "they weren't allowed to have any" and I could drive up the street to CVS to buy some. I carry my own travel bedding/pest spray and used half the bottle trying to protect our personal items and bed area. I didn't want to complain to mgmt because I didn't want a false claim of room damages and lose deposit. For the price, I'll book a chain hotel next time I travel to Port A.

Annual Beach trip.
Stay was wonderful as always. Clean, comfortable. The internet/wifi didn’t work, but it’s the beach who really spends that much time in the room. Ac unit was brand new but pre set to 72, which isn’t that cold for us. But we survived the “hot” room and the tropical storm.

Door to bathroom would not shut maintenance came by was their 10 minutes and said you just got to kick the bottom in to shut. Shower did not look like it was cleaned paper thin walls dog would not stop barking next to us usually a good time here. Just got a bad room staff was very nice also refrigerator smelt like dead bait upon opening it wasn’t working so instead of taking it out and replacing it they just shut it hoping we would not open. It smelt so bad we had to leave for a couple hours

Parking! It was hard to find a parking the first night we were there. Maybe you should consider parking passes for the room #. It makes more sense that we park where we can see our vechicle. I think people will tend to have visitors not stay there.
