Great Old Florida Charm!

Cute old Florida motel right on the water with it's own private beach. The room was very clean and updated, the grounds are very tropical and well maintained, the staff was super friendly and helpful and the late check in process is very efficient. We will definitely stay here again.

Rainbow Bend was a nice gem for us for my birthday weekend! We really lived the scenic area and the tropical feel of the property. We rented a suite and it was very spacious. Although, could have been cleaner. We found dust on the walls & wall AC, and some mold & hair in the bathroom. The staff was nice and the breakfast included was also good. It is an updated place, although still needs keeping up.

Firstly, the staff was amazing. Very friendly. Very accommodating. I cannot say enough good things about the staff. Overall, the property needs major updating. But the main issue is an issue of overall property maintenance and cleanliness. The beach area was completely littered with plastics and garbage to the degree where you cannot walk or swim in that water. This was very disappointing as the reason I booked the property was because of the the private beach. It appears as though the plastics get brought in daily with the tide, and there they remained throughout the entire stay. It is the responsibility of the property to maintain the beach and they do not. The grounds are also littered with dog feces and cigarette butts. There was a strong smell that permitted into the actual buildings from outdoors. This property has a lot of potential due to the location, but management needs to work on keeping that beach clean.
