The staff and the property was absolutely amazing we had a blast I took my wife for her 37th birthday for the weekend and she really enjoyed herself and so did I it is in a great location right on the beach also there's a lot of restaurants and shopping plazas and bars right there where you can walk so it was awesome

We stayed in room 122 beachfront was amazing but there is mold on the roof by the vent by the bed I didn't like that part at all I forgot to mention it at checkout but I'm glad you guys messaged me for a review so you need to take care of that mold and get that took care of because that is not healthy for anyone to be 🫁 breathing

The unit was very big. The pics they advertise don’t give it justice on the size. We had a balcony, so we had a perfect view of the ocean. The pool was big. I would definitely stay here again.

You don’t have housekeeping unless you request it. They staff isn’t that friendly. Check in is 4pm sharp. They would not let us in even a little early. For new towels you have to set them outside by 8:30am. It took over 24 hours the first day for them to replace them. After the first day they did replace them when we set them out. The fridge is rusted and small. Made noise. No water pressure in the shower. The balcony was scary. Definitely shaking. The whole place needs a update for sure. The pull out couch, the mattress is very thin and super uncomfortable. We brought a air mattress just in case and thank god we did. The main mattress wasn’t that comfortable and the tv volume was ridiculous to turn up. But for all the stuff that we didn’t like we would stay again.

The location was everything. And absolutely cannot beat the price point for how close you are to the gulf. Staff was fantastic. Property overall was in decent shape.

The bathroom. In dire need of renovation. The shower was one of those one piece fiberglass/plastic inserts and it had a large crack in it. While there didn't appear to be any mold, the caulking was yellowed and looked horrendous. The surface of the tile countertop was flaking off. It was embarrassing to have friends who lived nearby visit. The sofa bed was also on its last legs. When out as a bed, springs were broken in areas. All in all, I wasn't expecting luxurious accommodations given the price point given the amazing location but bathroom was borderline unacceptable.

The room was larger than usual with a nice large deck, overlooking the water with a wonderful view. The pool was great!

Manager & most of the staff were not very friendly except for Juan, who was great! He was very professional & seemed to go out of his way to help. Too bad the rest of the staff wasn't as nice! Our room was on the 2nd floor & it needed a lot of updating, especially the bathroom & shower which was very small & pretty gross, needing much updating! Glass sliding door blinds to balacony, were broken & couldn't even close! Pictures on line showed a beautiful bathroom & that's definitely NOT what we got! 😢

The views - gulf front, and pool were nice! It is very close to the water...we loved that and will come back for that reason. We liked the outside area, plenty of seats and restrooms.. The 3 room efficiency was very roomy, lots of space. It had some nice updates, but you could tell other guests have been rough on furniture. The front desk people were very nice.

The balcony is wooden and had a loose side beam. My husband assured me it wasn't structural. Several of the boards were soft and rotted on the deck. I know that the FL weather is so hard on wooden decks, but they need fixed. I was surprised that the kitchenette didn't have anything but a coffee maker and microwave. There was a large sink, even cabinets, (several, in fact), but nothing in them. I live 20 min away, so I went home and got an electric skillet and utensils to cook breakfast with. It could have at least had a toaster and a few kitchen utensils. We enjoy eating breakfast in, next time we will come prepared.

It was a comfortable, clean place. Front desk people were nice. Room was nice. Access to beach was fantastic.

No hot tub or no breakfast/ coffee. Coffee makers in room as all have usually. Pool could of been a tad warmer.

The front desk guy was exceptional. My friend and I wanted to brighten his day and got him a candy bar wrapped into a million-dollar wrapper. We gave it to him to say "THANKS A MILLION" for taking care of us. Great stay, on the beach with restaurants everywhere. BIG pool and a relaxing lounge type breezeway room with a view of the ocean. Very nice. Will go back someday. I definitely recommend Mango's next door and Sweet Sage Cafe----both within walking distance. Surf shop across the street.

The light outside the bedroom window---it's like daytime at night. NO NO!!!

Location is excellent. Staff is very friendly. Clean.

Really needs some tlc. Its clear the owner(s) mission is minimum viable product. Like they do the bare minimum. One vertical blind had 2 different size slats in a Queen suite with a water view. I thought someone cut some of them. Nope. I’m guessing as they break off whatever is around is put in it’s place. There are pencil marks of measurement where things hang. Like the toilet paper role. I really want to like this place because the staff is friendly, it’s clean, and has a great location but it’s pretty run down even though there was a renovation.

Room was great. View was wonderful. The resident manager was less than friendly, difficult to reach, and not welcoming.

The resident manager was less than friendly, difficult to reach, and not welcoming. The phone was not answered regularly, and the guy actually said, I'm busy call me back in an hour. Then no answer. Asked for restaurants in area. UGH. This guy needs to have lessons in how to treat guests. Plus, no dishes and yucky styrofoam plates and plastic silver wear, only when we asked. UGH UGH UGH. NO ROOM SERVICE, after paying over $300 a night. YUUCK Would not stay here another time.
