Disappointed

Did not have hot water in our room. Notified them the next day to see if they could at least take the resort fee off (which was a surprise fee of almost $40 btw) and called a couple times when no one reached out to me. Having a hot shower should be standard and something should have been done for us because of it. Disappointed in their neglect to make it right.

Liked the Atlantic bulkhead. Plenty of dock space and casting room. Tasteful atmosphere with clean grounds and pool. Boat launch looked safe and maintained. Outdoor lights gave a nice ambience. Room was clean and properly stocked. TV was outdated.

Check in and out super easy and front desk great. Room itself was roomy but older. No vent or ac in shower or bathroom area. Older window wall unit barely cooled room. However property itself and location were great so made it a win. Having Paddleboard’s and kayaks to use for free big bonus, pool at end of day was relaxing and sitting under tiki huts at night and in morning looking out to wide open water was awesome and super relaxing. Definitely not a resort but a very nice option to stay a night or two with a reasonable price

The motel is quite old and run down. The king suite with walk out to the beach; isn’t really a walk out to the beach at all - instead you are facing the boat ramp. The futon is so uncomfortable that it shouldn’t be considered an option for an extra place to sleep. My kids couldn’t sleep all night which was also due to the neighboring room being very loud late into the night.
