This place has very good accommodations. Quiet - couldn’t hear any sound from adjacent rooms. It has easy and ADA friendly access to the beach. The unit was very clean and had great views of the beach, the pier, and the Gulf. The kitchenette was convenient for preparing breakfast and had good sized refrigerator, dinnerware, and cookware. Our stay was very pleasant.

I came into town to work and I work nights. That means I sleep during the daytime and unfortunately they are doing some form of construction directly above my head. I am the only reservation they had arriving on a Sunday in the 13 guests they have on property And they chose to remodel the room directly above mine. I have heard every nail that was hammered heard grinders and sanders heard construction people drop things and I’m going to leave a day early just to get the hell out of here.

Ruined trip.

I’ve stayed at the property many times, it’s has always been clean and a great value. Wonderful views from our room. This trip was awful. I called the front desk to let them know the the toilet was leaking, all over the floor at 11 pm. They said they would put a work order in for someone to come in the morning to fix it the next day. He arrived at before noon. Working on it most of the afternoon left at 3pm saying he needed to get a part and never came back. I called at 7 pm, a wonderful manager at the property next door and she finally got another person to finally get the toilet going. I ended up having to go down stairs to use the restroom, over half the day without a working toilet. My disabled husband has trouble walking and was miserable. This ruined our anniversary trip. We waited the entire day for nothing. I honestly want a refund.

I like the fact that it was right in front of the beach I like the fact that I was able to just walk out and walk on the beach and the pier and go fishing. I did not like that the roaches were all over the stove and oven were dirty the microwave was dirty there was trash under the bed trash behind the TV the doors don't close properly that like they should it wasn't clean and staff had an attitude when it was brought to their attention.
