Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This resort is beautiful. Set directly across from the beach, the flowers and plants surround the grounds. Our room was exactly as stated: first floor, king, rain shower and a little sitting area outside our door. Everything was clean and ready for our stay. The rain shower? Amazing! What a nice little extra during our stay. They have a clean pool and hot tub and you can swim right at the beach. If you are worried that there is no breakfast included, don't. Just pretty much next door is a great breakfast placed called Good Egg. You won't need lunch. Plenty to do in the area and lots of places to eat. Then come back to your relaxing room or hang out at the beach and watch the sunset. Would definitely return!

Pool and hot tub were very nice even on a cool day (60F), private beach across the street is not clearly marked as Bay Breeze property but is explained in the master book. Good Eggs restaurant is a few steps away and has good coffee and excellent breakfast burritos. Shower was an experience with regular, rain and three side spray nozzles, thumbs up! Room was nice all around. The sunset looking over the bay was great, picture attached.

No one was on property at night. No coffee station in the AM. We have stayed at nicer places for the same or less money. Would have been nice to talk to manager maybe our feelings would have changed.

Beautiful property and a very nice room. Staff was very acommodating and helpful! We mentioned our refrigerator sounded loud, like something was wrong with the compressor. We told them we didn't need a new one at that time, but when we came back from being out and about later, they had already brought a new one to our room. Thank you!!

Great place to stay and nice location. Friendly staff upon check in. Like the towel policy. Just leave in bag outside room, and replaced with fresh towels. I hate to give too good a review - because I want to keep coming back to this gem, and don’t want others to find it! 😊 Will be back again.
