Please pay close attention to listing
Pros:

It was clean

Cons:

It was listed as a “Penthouse Suite” not sure if that is possible, it was just a studio apartment with a small bathroom. It was on the second floor of a two story “Motel”, no elevator, it was hard to find but found while looking for rental office down the street

Pros:

Great location. They had beach access and good parking that was free. Fun perks like shot at sunset and free coffee/tea in the mornings. Everything was straighforward at check in/out. Staff was super friendly. It was cozy and spacious.

Cons:

A bit outdated room. Everything seemed pretty clean, but there was definitely some wear on items like the couch and recliner.

Pros:

The paintings in the room were beautiful. The art work outside was pretty. I did enjoy the walk in shower.

Cons:

A little crowded for four adults and I thought we would be on the beach. I just wanted to sit outside and see the water and see the Gulf

Convenient and Clean but so small!
Pros:

It was clean. Location was convenient.

Cons:

Having to check in across the street in sweltering Florida weather is annoying. Bathroom is ridiculously small. The decor was tacky and outdated. We actually only stayed one of our two booked nights.

Never stay here again!
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and tried to make up for the wrong reservation but there was nothing they could do.

Cons:

I didn't appreciate the staff tried to blame Bookings on sending the wrong reservation. I reserved a beach side room and they gave us this room off the beach with horrible parking. I've been booking through Bookings for many years and I've never had a reservation wrong until now. I doubt the error was on Bookings part.
