★★★★★ 5.0 Rebecca B · Oct 2025

Absolutely amazing place to stay! Our room was such a convenience for us with a full kitchen! Close drive to everything on the island. Walk across the street to the beach! Definitely would stay again! No kids or pets allowed but that wasn't an issue for us this trip.

What a gem! We’ve stayed on resort properties on the island before and in many ways this property was so much better!||It’s small, perfectly clean and has everything you’d need for a stay, long or short! We only stayed 2 nights and regret it now! The bed was super comfy and a/c so quiet! It’s been the best 2 nights sleep of our 12 in Florida this trip. The team here do a brilliant job. Well done. We hope to come back sometime.

The room was clean … plenty of room for 3 adults … direct pool entrance from room … laundry very clean with newer machines … plenty of towels and beach towels … grills … shell cleaning station and outdoor shower … good location … access to beach via a 2 minute walk … quiet … definitely would return.

Location is great, 2nd time staying there within 12 months. Will go back in the future. Fantastic for a 3-4 day get away from kids and family. Facilities are great, clean and equipment is free to use, chairs, umbrellas and carry buggy. Just make sure you return when finished. Pool is great plus you have a great BBQ area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Laura Raymond · Feb 2025

We had a great stay here in the Banyan room! Large, clean rooms with everything you need. The pool and deck were really nice to have on the red tide days. Staff were all super helpful and friendly. Easy to find/access, and less than 5 minutes’ walk from the beach. Tons of nice beach stuff to use as well - comfy chairs and really sturdy umbrellas. We would definitely return!
