The rooms were extremely clean, well the whole property is. Along the road around this hotel is some nice little row of motels but this place is more like little private bungalows. They have a little path to the beach which you could borrow a wagon and haul your stuff for the day. We were on the marina side so we got to watch the boat launch follies and enjoyed watching the fishermen come and go. Enjoyed the location close to a couple of reastaraunts right on the water and rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed a day on the water. Fabulous hideaway!

The owner Tekla welcomed us as we exited our vehicle. We felt like we were staying in a friends home rather than a hotel. It was impeccably clean and decorated, we stayed in the Big House and it is remodeled and has everything you need for your stay. Upon our exit Tekla and her husband were so kind to my children and bid us farewell. We cannot say enough about this amazing property and the lovely owners. We cannot wait to return.

Horrible, moldy, cheap hotel. I don't see how this place even qualified as a "resort". Save your…read moremoney and stay at a local cheap motel and I promise it will be nicer than this place. Staff is exceptionally rude and my room was absolutely unacceptable. Mold, stains, dust, rundown appliances and human fluids - a total health hazard. When I brought these issues to the attention of management, instead of resolving the issue I was charged additional fees by the owner, Chris Charles. Every weekend since I stayed here he has tried to process payments on my card, and I have been forced to close my account because of it. The owner is a total scam artist. Save yourself the heartache and don't book a room here.

We were quickly lead to a table way in the back but facing a glass window allowing us a nice view of the lake. Our waitress was not the best....drinks took a bit to arrive, bread was provided halfway through drinks, right before our food arrived, and we felt kind of rushed. My husband was really bothered by the smell of fish. It wasn't the pleasant smell of a nice fish dish cooking, more like the smell of raw fish in a fish shop. I noticed it but it didn't get to me like it affected him. The food was good, but nothing memorable. There isn't a lot of Gluten Free options. I never hold that against any restaurant just thought I'd mention it for us unfortunate folks that can't have Gluten. If we happened to be in the area we'd probably go back for drinks and apps at the bar but would make a special trip.

When we arrived and explained the situation, the front desk and management showed little to no compassion and were extremely defensive instead of trying to help us find a solution. We understood the mistake was ours, but the lack of empathy and poor customer service made the situation much worse. We were forced to pay for another room that same night, and the way everything was handled left a terrible impression on our entire family. Unfortunately, this experience has completely discouraged us from staying with this hotel brand again.

The rooms are shabby chic but clean, equipped with fridge, stove, microwave - everything you need really. The motel is a short walk from the beach and there are a few spots on location to hang out and watch the sunset. Some of the guests are residents who have been there for a month or more and others who are just shacking up for the night. Regardless you will meet some interesting folks. Lots of wildlife in the area. Saw dolphins, turtles, cranes. By the end of the trip I was already planning a trip back in the fall. Can't wait.

An excellent beachfront getaway…read more On The Beach is literally on the beach. The small cottage-style rooms are within 200 feet of the ocean, but secluded behind palm trees, so neighboring properties do not distract. The rooms themselves are very clean and modern. Simple, but just right. Every room has a fridge, microwave and "kitchen" sink, so it's accommodating for an extended stay. Just note that the fridge is small, so groceries will need to be limited. The bed was very comfortable with tons of pillows. The walk-in shower looked like it was brand new. Plenty of hot water and water pressure to clean off after a day on the beach. To get to the beach, you walk down a short trail that's surrounded by bushes and flowers. The sand is a mixture of white sand and shells. Lounge chairs are provided, in addition to beach towels. If you want a larger, busier beach, take a short walk south and you'll end up at Nokomis Beach. Walk north and you can go for miles without seeing many people at all. That is also a great route if you are looking to collect shells. After your beach day is over, there is a small outdoor shower by the property to rinse off. Each room also has a couple of chairs outside, so you can air dry, if you prefer, before going back inside. The staff (housekeeping and management) have relatively short hours, so you may need to contact the parent property (Bentley Boutique Hotel) to check-in, or if you need other assistance outside of 10:30-5. In terms of a value, find a deal through a 3rd party booker or take advantage of an On The Beach special - either way, I doubt you will be able to find a better beach stay for such an affordable price. The area itself is relatively quiet, but there are a few restaurants within 5-10 minutes. If you need heavier shopping, head north about 20 minutes to hit the city area. Siesta Key is also just over 30 minutes away, depending on traffic. I highly recommend On The Beach and I'll be back the next time I want a beach getaway!
