Pros:

It was quaint and nice.

Cons:

The place needs to have some attention to detail. Also the listing says its within walking distance to the sights and its 8+ miles to anything. The road noise was so disturbing trying to sleep. Hot water didn't work the first night but they finally fixed it the 2nd night.

Beautiful place!! Over all stay was good, could have been better.
Pros:

The location and price was great. It is a beautiful property and it has so much potential. Small hotel vibes. Easy parking. Code entry made it easy to come and go without a key or a key card. Clean fresh feel throughout.

Cons:

Seemed like the walls were thin by the sound from others walking by, talking, you can hear people in their rooms. Families with small children can get a little loud. Sound travels when there is no carpet to help with muffling out regular everyday noise. The shower had no cover over one window which one could clearly see the neighboring property and likewise. The bed was a thick foam mattress, unfortunately you can tell where everyone settles in at. Breakfast? I think just coffee and water.

Pros:

Checking in was easy, We arrived late but it was a phone call to get access.

Cons:

The only complaint is the bed was extremely squeaky. Everytime I loved it made what seemed the loudest creak.

Excellent sleep
Pros:

Beautiful room and lobby plus the grounds outside and deck going to the intercoastal waterway area are beautiful .
Bed was extremely comfortable. Room was clean. Nice thick towels and washcloths provided. Feather pillows were amazing. Shower was awesome once I figured it out by watching the video. Suggestion: would be nice to provide a bath robe for guests.

Cons:

Rooms very un-soundproof. Felt like I had to keep my TV at volume I could barely hear so as not to disturb other guests as per the contract stated a 250.00 fine for noise, even noise coming from room. Could hear normal conversations coming from other people's rooms from the hallway.
The ice machine had only enough ice to barely get 1/4th of my ice bucket filled.
No breakfast nor any snacks or drinks available for purchase at the property. Bring your own, buy before you check-in as the only store close is a circle k gas station.
Coffee only available after 8am, none available at night.

Not worth the money, won’t be staying here again.
Pros:

The location was nice. Right next door to a restaurant. Beautiful view behind of the bay.

Cons:

Room was not clean, they had water in the lobby but it wasn’t cold. Walls are paper thin and you could hear absolutely everything. Coffee was terrible.
