We stayed here for one night on our way to St. George Island. It’s located just down the road from Crum’s Bait & Tackle, Wooly Park, The Salty Donkey, and many other places. The room was super clean and smelled even cleaner when we went inside. The boys walked to the bay to fish and had a great time. I’d definitely stay here again.

Funky fifties , friendly and frugal place to sleep

I was visiting a friend who lives 15 minutes away so this place was perfect for the time Ispent in the room. It was a good value and right off the coastal highway.

Good concept but still needs some work. I'm not sure there is much that can be done with the noise both from the road and between units. It is what it is.

Cute little vintage motel for overnight stay. Quiet,clean and cozy. Not much to do in the area but we knew that before we booked which is why we chose it for the night.

I did not like the concrete business right next door to the property. The cement trucks were very noisy and unsightly and took away any ambiance this little hotel offers. The location is convenient and the restaurant down the road (Tropical Trader Shrimp Co.) has the best shrimp tacos I've ever had. The hotel itself was clean, cute and comfy!

You can tell they put thought into the renovations and decor. It had a cute coastal vibe. However, if you get room 17 be mindful it isn't the best. It faces hwy 98 so you get all the road noise. The door is off center so there are gaps where you can see daylight. There are concerning soft spots in the floor and some of the flooring is coming up. Also, the shower gets water in the floor and there is no bath mat so we had to use one of the hand towels. There are not enough towels in general. The room was clean but the floor was not clean enough for me to want to walk barefoot (which I do all the time). There was a cute patio for breakfast or otherwise right off the room. However the door window didn't have a shade so the lights on the fence shown through at night until they turned off. The blackout curtains on the other windows were great, as was the blackout on the front door windows. The staff communication was great when we had a question. However the resort info and the info on Expedia were contradicting so it was a little confusing. I would probably stay again, just not in room 17. Oh, it is next door to a concrete facility and they start early in the morning. Pics are provided in the listing as an fyi. The location was close to Wakulla and beaches so no complaints there. Walk to get coffee at the Lucky Goat. It was delish!

Great place to rest while visiting Pancea

The motel was nice, but the bay access was not much to experience. Great if you a looking to get right on the water on a watercraft. But beyond that there was far too little space and far too many bugs to be a reason to stay at the motel. There are nearby beaches where you can sit and watch the sunset.

Everything was great... a couple suggestions: 1. you need a full length mirror, we bought new swimsuits and would have liked to see my whole body before heading to the beach lol 2. Advertise that hot tub because it never mentioned that and i almost changed my booking because we wanted a pool or something, when we saw the hot tub we were so glad that i didn't change our booking. This place is great !!!

The whole community is run down. The motel was a poorly refurbished motel. It was clean, great water pressure, good beds. Water temps were reversed, shower walls and closet were poorly constructed. Parking was tight. Way overpriced for the community.
