We've been staying at this lovely spot for years. No high rise motel here (thankfully), instead it's more of a cottage setting, with palm trees etc., on a path which in a few steps leads you to the beach. Comfy lounge chairs, beach umbrellas, bikes and plenty of towels are at your disposal. When they built the cottages they kept lots of the natural vegetation around which gives guests some sense of privacy and the place blends in with the landscape which we love and appreciate. It's not fancy but is clean and comfortable and the staff, friendly and helpful. Beth who passed away was wonderful and

Placid, simple, lovely corner of Paradise. A nice example of a more graceful older Florida with modern convenience and lovely garden setting. Guests were relaxed and nice, friendly people. Staff was attentive and personable. Facilities were not fancy, just well maintained and comfortable. We had a blast and highly recommend.
