The room was ok, walls were dirty, I normally wouldn’t nit pick, but the front desk women was efficient, was not professional, she yelled at the housekeeping across the pool and told them when responded to keep it down when she was the one who yelled across the pool, housekeeping was very pleasant, front desk women think her name was Amie, she also was in my room when I had do not disturb sign on, asked me if I was smoking in my room….i thought to myself why did she go in my room with sign on at the same time she said the exterminator had to get in, well I think exterminator should do its job while guest are checked out! Or at least let me know exterminator is coming. Not going back was ther for 3 nights

This is an older motel, that is close to a busy road. Although it was clean and reasonably comfortable the rooms are starting to show their age. Couldn’t get the TV to work and our toilet leaked and the water cut in every 3 to 4 minutes. Was not fixed during our stay.

cute place; convenient. my only comment was the property manager (some lady) made me feel awful by saying "you pulled a good one over Melissa" because there was a rate difference from expedia to what the property was going to charge me. Melissa did the right thing and honored rate thru expedia. housekeepers are super friendly/nice and pools great!!!

Melissa at the front desk was so kind and helpful! She suggested a great restaurant with amazing food and strong, tasty drinks. The pool was the cleanest outdoor pool I've ever seen. The rest of the property was very clean as well. This was great walking distance to the beach and shopping. Would definitely stay here again.

I recently stayed at this charming little Florida motel, and it was such a wonderful experience! The place has that classic, cozy vibe you hope for in a small coastal getaway—colorful details, well-kept rooms, and a welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. We had a cute rocking glider outside of our room and enjoyed sitting outside every evening. What really made the stay special was the staff. Every single person I interacted with was incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making guests feel at home. From quick local recommendations to thoughtful little touches, they went above and beyond. The location was perfect—close to the beach and Lauderdale by the sea for dinners. The motel felt clean, safe, and full of character. It’s the kind of place you want to return to again and again, not just for the comfort, but for the people who make it memorable. We loved the staff ! Highly recommend this hidden gem if you’re looking for something authentic, friendly, and refreshingly different.

ROMANTIC GETAWAY

The place is just perfect. Not to big, has a family friendly feel. The pool is super nice. Parking is easy and convenient. Publix is a 3 minute walk. The beach less than 5. The best is the management and room services. They care and want to make sure your stay is perfect. Also you have access to laundry and a grill. GIVE THIS PLACE A STAY. 🌴💕
