Pros- cute establishment and friendly front desk. Free granola bars, crackers and fruit. A water hot and cold filling station. Nice swing with water view. Con- if you get a room close to road it’s like you are sleeping on the highway. Two nights of no sleep.

Nice setting on the gulf: easy walk to the water. No real beach (docks and ramp to put in kayaks or paddle boards, which are available), but nice chaises and hammocks to veg. Room was comfortable, with new vinyl plank floor. Comfy bed. Kitchen table very creaky. Bathroom needs work: lots of peeling from vanity and tight shower stall, though pressure is excellent. No place to unpack: very limited drawer/shelf space; would frustrate travelers staying more than a few nights. Nice touch: K-cups for Keurig, complimentary snacks in the office. Bring your own streaming device.

Retro 195O’s exterior, all the to the neon sign at the entrance. Felt like Lucy and Desi would be showing up. Rooms have been updated and modernized. Our room had a large screen tv with a nice suiting area, comfy queen bed, and a small kitchen area. Very clean. Small pool near road. Waterfront lounging area, with lounge chairs, shuffle board, kayaks, bikes, a dock. You could go swimming off the dock. Concierge nice, provided a bag of ice and some fruit and snacks on the office. Easy drive to eateries. A distillery and brewery across the road if you want to just walk. Would recommend for adults, I think kids might be bored with no beach and the small pool.
