The staff is amazing. The property is on the beach. The only issue I had is the parking. It gets full and its not very convenient when it happens. I loved the room. Its so clean and vibrant. The staff though is attentive and right on any issue you have. Ill be back and I will recommend to others.

Unsafe for children

This was my little girl’s first beach trip. It was a family trip, and a bit sentimental for all of us due to that & my FIL’s recent passing. We booked the Oceanview Suite with a King, a Queen & a bunk bed to have enough room for 5 people. Imagine how mad I am finding a loose stimulant pill for narcolepsy/ADHD that would’ve killed my daughter in the pillow/linens drawer. Now, imagine how mad I am for the reason I was using that drawer. Housekeeping apparently uses room 502 to hide & nap or they just don’t clean the bunks. The bunk had no linens, black footprints on the mattress cover, a mostly full Pepsi can wedged into the mattress with lipstick on it, jewelry & dirty tooth plaque pickers. It was FULL of sand. Housekeeping only brought sheets with no real apology & later texted offering a “full service” cleaning. ROOMS SHOULD BE CLEANED BEFORE GUESTS ARRIVE. PAID FOR SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS SHOULD BE USABLE! The room also stunk & the beds are uncomfortable anyway. The good reviews are due to the restaurant and the exterior paint job at the hotel. This is not a safe or clean place for families with children. All this for triple the price of a nicer hotel in Florida or literally any other beach. $1700 for 3 nights lmao. Go to Charleston and live nice for that money. This is roadside motel scummy with a tiki bar.

Tiki bar, accomodating & friendly staff, beach bathroom on first floor near pool was convenient so we didn't have to go back to our room. Housekeeping should make sure there are enough towels & washcloths in room for # of people booked in room. Also, had to ask for sheets & blanket for futon chair in King Family room. The bathroom electric outlet didn't work in Rm 204.

The only negative I have is the tv. Most everywhere has a smart tv these days and they don’t have that here yet. It had cable so there wasn’t a lack of something to watch but we usually just pull up our account for streaming to catch up on shows we’ve been watching at home so that was a bummer but otherwise everything was great!
