We were somewhat leary about staying here after reading the poor reviews, however, we had a wonderful time. We found everything to be spotless, a friendly and welcoming owner/staff, a nice pool and pretty garden setting, nice views, cool A/C, comfortable bedding. The biggest drawback was a small shower/bathroom which was a slight inconvenience. The "rules" we received were all standard and I cannot stress enough how accomodating the owners were. In fact, they let us have a late checkout, at no charge, since there was not anyone booked for the following day. I would recommend a bicycle for enjoying the small, quaint old cottages along narrow streets. The beach is directly across the block and the dock was available for fishing. This is "old florida" and if you're are expecting luxury - this is not the place for you. It is a small, simple inn with basic accomodations that are well maintained. The hotel is well situated to enjoy walks on the beach, early morning swim, a great book poolside or any relaxing activity. A beach/party restaurant is located with walking/riding distance and there is a small childrens park at the beach and not much else. We will stay here again to enjoy an economical stay at the beach.
