After a disastrous dirty disgusting condo we were sold and realize that after a long drive with kids we found this gem online and luckily they had 3 rooms available for us. We made the reservation at 11pm and got into our rooms in 45 min We loved how modest but clean and comfortable the property. It feels like we are at our parent’s old summer house with all memories:) we got those rooms for one night but extended 3 more nights they just showed us 2 different rooms. We are having a lot of fun and forgot about the disaster we lived through at the first place

The view is stunning from room 142, I can't speak for the other rooms. The property is very close to Walmart, Top Golf, and Pier Walk. There is a splash pad and pool for very little kids. The do have another pool for older children and adults. The room was clean and has basic necessities. They clean the room everyday and replenish towels and wash cloths. I do wish they had a broom in the room to sweep up if something is spilled or to sweep up sand. I was a little noisy because our bedroom was closest to the road, however that would not deter me from staying again. Staff was very nice and accommodating.

Excellent for families!

This is an excellent place to stay for families. Great location with a short walk to Pier Park for shopping, dining, etc. Staff were all super friendly. 3 pools and incredible beach access- we spent the days walking to play in the Gulf, coming back to the pool, going back to the beach…it was perfect for us. It is not the place for a romantic getaway- this is definitely a family spot!
