Gorgeous beaches and cozy rooms with friendly staff.
Pros:

The rooms were cute and very comfortable and cozy, the beach was clean and gorgeous, and it was in a fantastic location that gave a view of the island and the bridge. The main town was a 1 minute drive or short walk away. Shelly did a fantastic job cleaning our room and made it extremely comfortable to stay in.

Cons:

The bathroom and shower was quite small, making it hard for a tall person like myself. The wifi would cut out somewhat frequently and it never connected to the tv well enough to watch streaming on it.

Pros:

It was clean

Cons:

The cabin was SO tiny. Not what I paid for. It was like a garden shed turned cabin. Definitely some DIY stuff. If you are a bigger person I do NOT recommend letting them put you in cabin 9. I definitely got charged more than I should have been.

Nice facility close to town and the beach.
Pros:

Newly remodeled

Cons:

The circuit was tripped for 1/2 the cottage - figured it out after a while so it wasn’t a big problem.

First time to this city and we saw many nicer places to stay. We won't stay here again.
Pros:

Location was nice to be right on the water. The surrounds were quiet, but parking was cramped.

Cons:

First impression of the site: I wasn't sure if it was operating as the front flowers and weeds were so overgrown.
The person checking us in said the heat in our room would only go to 70. Probably because the area where the water lines came in you could see the ground.
Found blood stains on a pillow...yuck.
Be cautious, the outside pictures of the units are the newer cabins, which they only have three of them. We were offered an upgrade for an additional $100/night, but declined.
