Solid 4-stars for a 3-star resort (this is a good thing)
If you dig around the ‘net a bit, you'll find some crummy reviews about this place. However, they're years old and our experience (late June, 2021) was great.
Compared to other places you can stay in the area, I'd classify it as a 3-star lodging. Within that category, it gets a solid 4 - 4.5 stars.
We were in a 2nd floor two-bedroom suite. Aside from needing aesthetic updating, it was clean enough and definitely had enough space for our 3-person family. It would fit 4 if two can share a room with two single beds.
The master bedroom had an attached bathroom. There was enough storage for clothes if you pack light (3 drawers per person, plenty of hangers). It had an air conditioner. The other bedroom, with two single beds, had limited storage and no A/C. While the former isn't an issue, the latter could be. The main living area had an A/C powerful enough to cool the whole area. However, once the bedroom door is closed, it heats up fast. You might do well bringing a small fan. Also, for you late-night lovers: remember the walls are thin… ;)
The 2nd bathroom had only a toilet and shower. There are no shelves or hanger-hooks. The sink for this bathroom is actually the kitchen sink. There is limited storage, so staying organized is key.
There was only one bar of bath soap and one set of shampoo/conditioner; however, I've no doubt we would have been given more if we asked. I think this is the current trend anyway to minimize waste: provide limited amount and supply more if needed.
I noticed some mold/mildew in a couple bowls and a pan. I commented to the front desk and she said we were one of the first renters for that room, so it could have been from being damp/moist all off-season. While I shouldn’t have to do dishes before I use them I probably would have anyway since I don’t know how well previous renters cleaned.
We were 271 feet from the beach (per Google Maps), plus some for the steps. Please note that the beach view includes boat docks. I overheard someone complaining... However, if you look around, most places have boat docks in the view. The beach is relatively small (cozy?) with plenty of seating. There are several charcoal and gas grills, picnic tables, and a fire pit.
Overall, I’d have no problem going back. In fact, next time we go, I’d want the 2nd floor end unit because it has a deck and a view.
In closing, disregard the other outdated reviews. This place cleaned itself up and is on par with other similar places to stay.
