Peaceful retreat

We enjoyed this peaceful retreat while in town for Pittsburgh Pirates spring training. It’s a couple miles off of the main road so very little traffic, no noise and tons of amenities in the community.

Lovely area

Unit was adequate for 2 people. Fridge was too small for our length of stay ( 1 month). Outside property was very nice. Perfect for seniors. Pool right outside of our building. Beach across the street. 2 restaurants on property.

Wonderful place to stay

We had a blast, perfect place to stay. Place was spotless, beds were VERY comfortable, very nice pool and hot tub right nearby. The beach was a super short walk. The owner answered all my questions immediately. I have nothing but great things to say. At sunset this is exactly where you want to be. We will definitely be coming back. We bought some groceries, used hot plate to make spaghetti, toaster oven for garlic bread. You do not have to eat at a restaurant, plenty of amenities to eat right in the condo.

Absolutely Perfect

My son and I came down to visit family nearby. This is a little slice of heaven. The room was exactly as described. It was clean, it smelled fresh, the beds were comfortable. The location of this unit was nicely placed a very short walk between the pool/hot tub, the restaurants and the Inn's private beach. Christine was quick to respond to any and all of my questions, and very accommodating. 10 out of 10 I would totally recommend. We will definitely be back!

Property NOT in good condition to be enjoyed

If you’re looking for a clean, nice and comfortable room to stay for your vacation then this will disappoint you. The hall way had a strong smell of mold. The room has strong air fresheners to cover up some unpleasant odors. The furnitures look old. The linens of bed are of low quality. The bathroom is very humid. The “white” towels might have been used for many years, even had yellow spots on them! Overall, the cleanness and comfortable level you get only compares to a cheap motel. Although there are some amenities the resort provides——private beach, two restaurants….—which are nice, the room itself really disappoints.

Beautiful resort!

This resort has everything you need! Beach, 2 pools, 2 restaurants, and we saw dolphins every day and manatees! It was the easiest check in process and Ginny (server) at the sunset grill made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back!

Excellent Rental

Booked for a long weekend. Loved the resort amenities and location of the unit. The room was clean and comfy. Even though ‘civilization’ is only a few minutes down the road, the resort makes you feel as if they are a world away.

Marriage saved!

We arrived on a Friday night and Saturday was college football. We couldn't figure out the cable. Christine was quick on the spot to help us navigate the cable system! The toilet was running non stop and Christine had a plumber come within 2 hrs to fix it. Sunset Beach restaurant had an amazing grouper with crab cake. Hook bar was a cozy little place across the parking lot. Beautiful sunset too!

Wonderful property with an ideal location within the complex. Very friendly staff. Small town vibe .

Great property! Only suggestion would be to have security monitor the pool on occasion. Local teens were a little rowdy!
