We had a wonderful beach stay and would highly recommend. The staff were excellent-friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The property itself was clean and well-maintained throughout our visit. The amenities were a highlight: the pool and beach access were great, and they provided nice towels that made lounging by the water even better. One of our favorite parts of the trip was enjoying the music and firepit at the Rusty Nail-it was the perfect way to unwind in the evenings. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable beach getaway. We'll definitely be back.

This is the most charming hotel with the most updated version of what it must’ve been like to live in the Stardust 50’s-60’s. Modern kitsch and modern bathrooms and amenities with old school vibes. The rusty nail has live music and a sand floor. Rooms are painted the perfect sea blue. Nothing I didn’t love.

Our family of five recently stayed at the Beach Shack for a long weekend, and we had a wonderful experience. The property was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and conveniently located, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The Rusty Nail was outstanding, the kids loved the frisbee plates and peach lemonade. The amenities were fantastic and provided everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We were especially impressed by how easy and stress-free the trip was, even while traveling with our newborn. The Beach Shack was family-friendly, well-maintained, and felt like a home away from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely love to come back again. Highly recommend for families looking for a comfortable and convenient beach getaway!

Very happy with the hotel. Loved the decor and set up. Appreciated the location, right across from the beach and attached to the Rusty Nail. Only thing that could be improved was water pressure in the shower and maybe adding a light in the bunk bed space. Would highly recommend.

Our room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable throughout our stay. What truly made the visit special was the friendly and attentive staff. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their excellent service made us feel valued and at home. The combination of beautiful surroundings, clean accommodations, and outstanding hospitality made this a memorable vacation. We would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable beachside escape, and we look forward to returning in the future.
