"Built in the early 40’s has old Florida charm with a hippie-chic flair. Very charming and quaint setting, walk-out to the beach and only a couple of blocks from the boardwalk. Comfy bed, great A/C! Miss B is very friendly and attentive to our needs! Miss Marie even brought the beach chairs closer to the shore so we could watch the air show front and center….definitely coming back here! ps…convenience store right around the corner too!"
"Ms. V was absolutely amazing! This place is a charming hidden gem that you simply have to experience. With fabulous beach access and spacious rooms, it’s a refreshing escape from the typical corporate hotels. And let’s not forget the stunning beach lounging area—it's the perfect spot to soak up the sun and relax!"
"Stayed here for two days with my husband. Perfect location as beach was steps from our room as was all restaurants. Ms V made sure we had everything that we needed on a daily basis! She made our stay that much more enjoyable. She is a true asset to your business. We will return because of her."
"Hotel is closing on March 1, 2026 and then being demolished and rebuilt. We’ve are here for the last 2 days . Great location , literally on the beach. Have stayed here several times through the years. Hope the new hotel will be reasonable as the Courtyard villas."
"Johnny is a great hotel manager along with Mrs. V taking care of all my hotel needs. This place is located 2 minute walk to the heart of all the bars and restaurants. The private beach is awesome and literally steps away from your room along with access to the public beach. This is a older hotel but you can’t beat the price and the quality of service. I have stayed there multiple times in the last 2 years. Won’t..."
"My mom and I came here for a staycation and everything met our expectations. Ronnie upfront was so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Ms.V made you feel like family and willing to help if we needed anything. The room and the hot tub was great. And obviously the beach only a few feet away was amazing!!! We def want to come back!!!"
"Visited for 4 days Feb 24. Like previous reviews it's all about the perfect location. Place needs a serious update which is happening this year but I guess that will mean a serious rise in prices. My stay didn't start well with a stumble down the concrete steps from our room the first evening. There was a light there but not working!.I grazed my arm. A helpful cleaner suggested I break off a stem of the Aloa Vera plant there..."
