The grounds were kept up nicely and other buildings were in beautiful condition. However, the building in which we stayed was old and not well maintained. The unit we used was adequate but was not what I consider a vacation experience, especially with its cost.

Not happy

The stay was great until I was hit with a smoking fee. The rules were read and it absolutely said no smoking in unit. There was no smoking in the unit. The person staying is an extremely heavy smoker so his clothes most definitely smelled like smoke. I had very little communication with the rental company and when they did respond they told me that there was no way the person did not smoke especially since there were cigarette butts in the trash can. I was absolutely ok with getting an extra cleaning fee but to be hit with a smoking fee was absurd. If they do not want anyone smelling like smoke or someone that is a heavy smoker renting that definitely needs to be put in the rental description. I will be telling people about this company and the lack of communication after emailing them several times.It really is a shame honestly especially after the person that it was rented for lost everything in the hurricane and now out the money for a smoking fee because he was accused of smoking in the unit.

Nice for a short stay

Community and restaurants are very cute here. The room and building was nice but not as updated as I had hoped and as it seems in the pics. A bit rundown is all. Unlike others who reviewed, I did not see any bugs at all, hallways were clean, room was clean and all items were available as noted on the listing. Enjoyed the stay especially because it was only for a few days.

Electrical plug challenge

The only real complaint is the electrical plug situation. The one between the beds was very questionable. Definitely wouldn’t pass any code. There was one really dated extension cord that had to be used for the coffee pot. Then unplugged so the toaster could be plugged it. A bit surprised to see this.

Cozy stay

This place was quiet and cozy for me and my family! It’s just like a hotel set up! Wish I could have cooked some food for my kids but that’s the only downfall! It has security and a bunch of amenities! A pool tennis a playground etc! 3 restaurants near by that we didn’t visit because we were out and exploring most of the time! There are amazing food trucks right down the street and a coffee food truck too that was great!! Will definitely be back!

Great Views

Located between two water views. However, the property itself was dated and run down. AC issue due to bed too close to vent. The bed would get cold which would shutdown the unit for cooling. So it was hot in unit.

Everything about Harbor Inn was great. It is quiet and clean in a good location with activities to do in the area. Finding the place was not eaay. We got, what seemed liked, two addresses and were not sure where to go. After we figured it put, all was good.

Mixed bag

We loved this area! Love the beaches, wonderful weather, saw manatees and dolphins The room was essentially a hotel room. The air conditioning was so-so. The “kitchen area” was a dorm sized refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker and one cabinet of dishes. There was no dishwasher or even dish washing liquid, which honestly kind of confused me since the email mentioned a dishwasher a few times including saying that when we leave we should load and run the dishwasher. Overall we were extremely satisfied with the resort. The facilities were nice and well maintained. We loved being able to see the wildlife RIGHT THERE! We really liked the Sunset Bar and Grill restaurant.

Nice stay overall

We were pleasantly surprised at the accommodations, resort amenities, and available activities. My feedback for what would’ve been better would be to have the common areas (halls, stairwells, outdoor areas) cleaned more frequently, allow for early checkin/late checkout, and have change machines available for laundry, etc
