Fun unique stay!!
Pros:

This place was great! The room had a fun ocean vibe and was pet friendly. The extra cost for our dog was only $10 a night! A lot cheaper than most hotels and kennels. The staff was friendly and helpful with all of our questions. Location was great for the beach (5 minute drive) and night life. Loved that there was a full kitchen in the room. We will definitely stay here again! I would recommend some sort of sleep sound since it is close to the airport and right next to the draw bridge. Stay here!!! Good value and a cool updated 1970s vibe.

Family Vacation
Pros:

Our family of three enjoyed a five-night stay, and we had a truly wonderful experience. The accommodations were exceptionally clean and peaceful. The staff members were incredibly kind, ensuring our comfort and providing us with all the necessary information about the property. The establishment was very welcoming to pets, and there was a designated area for smokers, along with a lovely view of a bridge. We certainly plan to return. This is an excellent place for a family to stay.

Pros:

This was the second time staying there, it is a great place to stay with excellent service and room was one of the best place I have ever stayed. Manager Sean and Debbie, are so accommodating, they will do anything for you. The room is huge, coffee, small refrigerator and microwave, so clean and very comfortable. King bed with a seashell design. Pool small but great!!! Whole place is cute and so cozy. Sean will provide seashell locating equipment, you can rent electric bikes. Will stay again!!!!

Pros:

This place is the perfect spot if you want to get away and not be bothered.. The pool is awesome and the rooms are clean and each room has its own theme. we rented the electric bikes and rode the bike trail that takes you straight to Casperin Beach which is absolutely beautiful on the way to the beach we spotted turtles and iguanas. It was a nice ride. Made me feel like I was going through my second childhood lol the people that run the place are so sweet and will go out of their way to help you with anything that you need. It’s also in the middle of where all of the stores are so anything that you need it’s sure to be close by . There’s also a barbecue grill for you to use the rooms are big and spacious overall, this place is the perfect honey hole. You won't regret it!

Family beach vaca with dogs
Pros:

This place is the perfect home away from home. The owners were super friendly and helpful and the place was nice and clean and had everything we needed. Pool was clean and the kids absolutely loved it. Our 2 small dogs were welcomed which is so important to us and having the trail behind the hotel was perfect to take them for little walks. I've seen people complain about the noise of the airplanes since the airport is across the street but they were small planes and we actually found it super cool and relaxing. The canal behind there was so nice and you could actually hear the fish jumping at night. Great fishing spot (but make sure you bring bug spray!). We were literally 5 minutes from the beach and throughly enjoyed shark tooth hunting. We are already looking forward to our trip back. Thanks again!
