Florida at it's best... and on the beach!
I am a Floridian. The location is serene and beautiful. I booked a Guest Room, 2 Double Beds. The linens and towels were clean and fresh. The AC was comfortable. The room was probably the cleanest hotel room I have stayed at in many years. Service was great and the entire staff was friendly and exceeded ...

Spacious coastal view room!
Nice accommodations! The only complaint is that there were people smoking around the pool area which made us move seats. There should be no smoking aloud around the pool area. Also, "coastal view" is a deceiving description. This does not mean beach front- only that you can see the gulf from your ...

Going Old School with a Great Pool
Awesome place - old school decor and LOUD (but critical) AC. Wear sandals to walk to pool and beach. Both great, btw. Add a diving board to pool and get 5 stars!! My impression is that many of the hotels along this stretch have a more elegant front end but for your basic needs and a great experience ...

Small, quaint old Florida "Inn"
There are only six or seven units here all surrounding a nice (very clean) pool and deck. My unit was the smallest since I was by myself, but other units have kitchens and bedrooms. My room was very clean and comfortable, except the shower, which was a bit small for me. The owner and staff that I ...
