We had to provide a 1200 deposit- she kept half for cleaning. She's got a racket going here. She falsely accuses people of breaking lease in an attempt to keep all money.

It's a straight shot, maybe 10 min walk if that to the beach. Walk the other way, you're minutes from the restaurants and shops. We were able to go Caspersen Beach and Blind Pass at Manasota Key easily. Short drives. We drove an hour to Sanibel too. We will definitely stay there again. They had beach sifters for shark teeth, all kinds of beach things you can borrow. Chairs, umbrellas, even bicycles. We love the location and how quaint it is.

Natalie, JJ and crew are so accomodating to get the room you need and even if you need to adjust your reservation. We originally were staying on the beach side, but with our arrival date changing they put us on the canal/bay side. Once arriving and getting in our room we were glad we were in this room. Just steps from our room was the pool. Ten steps from our sliding door was the water's edge and the boat docks where you can fish. Our favorite thing to do in the morning and evening is to drink coffee/cold beverage while we people watch on various water devices. Bonus is watching the kiddos jump from the bridge without the sherrif deputies cartching them, LOL! The beach front is just across the street where the office is. Every morning, your will find staff working to make sure the grounds are clean and ready for another day. From the outside, you can tell that resort was built back in the 60's, but is updated. This room has a queen bed which was fine, spacious shower and the kitchen/ living space was all in one place. Small, but perfect for the 2 of us. If you want a unit more updated and spacious, stay on the beach side. However, we love being able to step outside our door and be entertained by the view. The only negatives, our toilet was a very low old style toilet and the grill was in bad shape. Upon our departure, we ran into one of the owners and it sounded like they were going to be updating those. We stayed here in April 2026 and have reservations to stay again in October 2026. If our experience matches or succeedes our April visit, this will probably become our go to retreat to get away from Missouri's chilly temps. Note: If you are looking something big with an upbeat feeling with all the bells and whistles, then this is not for you. If looking for something right on the beach, low key, no hidden fees and great customer service? This may be your new hidden gem.

We stayed here for 3 days celebrating our 21st anniversary & I so wanted to give this location a 5…read morestar but I couldn't on the same hand go below 4 either. I travel for work and stay in hotels all across the country so I know a few things about customer service. First off it's a no frills type of place so don't expect greatness but it also isn't the slums. We stayed in unit 21 facing the courtyard. The queen room was extremely compact and I'm guessing 250 sf tops. It did have a small kitchen with one of the smallest sinks I ever washed dishes in but it worked. They do supply just about everything u need to cook a small dinner or breakfast if u choose to do while your staying. The fridge was nice and worked ( made strange noises both nights ) & the shower was decent ( not the greatest pressure but it was hot ) we found a local grocery store and picked up items for breakfast. Both morning we made bacon and eggs and chilled outside Parking seemed small but we always had a place to park when we made it back from being out. Here's the pros & cons imo Cons ----- tiny Ants in the kitchen were annoying, zero breakfast options , small rooms , no DVD players in the room, all types of odd noises throughout the day and night. We kept hearing noises coming from the drains ( gurgling ) shower pressure was very low but got the job done. Pro's ---- Walking distance to the beach ( less than 200 ft , room AC will freeze u out , the queen bed was decent , they have outdoor grills ( 2 ) 3 sets of tables to sit and chill for morning coffee or dinner. Very quiet atmosphere especially since there's a huge Public parking area right next door. The girls in the office were pretty friendly. Maintence guy was super nice and took care of a few issues we had very quickly. Overall it's a really good place to stay. It's an older place for sure but it has a certain charm that pulls u in. Would I stay here again ahh I don't know. I think foe the money u pay it's a good place but I'm pretty sure if u wanted greatness it's also here in Venice as well. I really wished there was an in room DVD player because we brought out wedding video from 21 years ago to sit and watch There's a place called Pop's sunset grill that we had dinner @ that was awesome. The Mahi and grilled salmon was outstanding. Don't forget the rum runners

We've loved it, the location, & being together to play cards, swim in the pool & ocean.HOWEVER, this year one sister got booted out of our room despite a deposit b/c owner's niece gave 10 day notice of staying there. What good is deposit if not honored. She was given another room not to her choosing or liking since she had 3 grandchildren to share with. We fought for a discount but this doesn't meet the dissatisfaction & disappointment considering our long history of repeated business with the same management. Our family has elected not to renew our business with this location b/c of this, sorry to say. Many of the rooms have not been updated, most of the mattresses of small beds are not comfortable to sleep. In addition, the WIFI in the individual condos is virtually non-existent on the 2nd floor unless you sit outside & what is the point of that at night!
