    Awesome...we'll be back!

    December 15, 2012

    We stayed there for 2 nights in early December 2012. The location/view/room...spectacular. Not fancy or pretentious...just relaxing and wonderful. We walked down the beach to dinner and breakfast. Gayle the owner could NOT have been nicer. Had the best restaurant meal I've ever experienced 5 min. away at Beach Bistro. We had a fire in their firepit both nights. Awesome. Great little pool to cool off. Only suggestion would be a firmer mattress but otherwise absolutely no complaints. We'll definately be back!

    Would go back in a heartbeat!

    June 14, 2012

    We stayed in room 105 for 2 nights, then 101 for one night. Both had beachfront porches which were LOVELY. 2 Steps to the sand, you can't beat that! We stayed over Memorial Day. Loved everything, but both rooms are just right-sized for 2, I wouldn't add more unless it's one small child perhaps. Location was great. We love the Bridge St area which is south and this was a mere 2 miles from it. Also easy to get to City pier and other places up north. Just a m,ile or so north is a plaza with all you would need for groceries, etc. and plenty of restauarants around. Love having a small kitchen to allow for some homecooked meals or take-out (dining in) easily.

    Beach front resort, gorgeous property on gulf. Our room was pretty tight, but we did have a kitchenette. Cute little pool and breakfast for one day at a nice beach front diner. Would stay again in a larger unit.
