The house is like going to an aunt and uncles house, we just felt very cozy and comfortable. The pictures are exactly how the house is. It's convenient to so many different places, and a very short drive to beaches. There is a reason this place is rated with 5 stars on every travel site.

There is a microwave and dishes, silverware and cooler with sodas and water upstairs with couches and games. Fresh baked cookies outside your room in the evening. There is fishing and crabbing on site. If you don't have the equipment they Wii loan you what you need. There is also a pool, several swings and chairs outside. Everything is so tastefully done and welcoming. There is also a small elevator to get suitcases and people upstairs.

We decided to stay on vacation one more night, and Yelp! led us to this lovely place. We were…read moreliterally packed and heading toward the bridge when we decided to stay. Having checked out of our Air BandB place we had to find a new place. We found this B and B about noon, and the owner led us right to a room and we were in! The room was beautiful, clean, large, and very comfortable! The house is directly across the street from a public beach access making it super convenient. The owners were incredibly friendly and fun to chat with. We were so happy to have found this place. (And no, we didn't want to leave the next day either, but we did.)

We stayed at the Loft at this B&B while we were in town for a wedding. We had a fantastic…read moreexperience. When I booked The Loft, I was unsure what to expect as I hadn't read other reviews about it, so here is my take for those potentially interested in booking: The Loft * it is basically a one-bedroom apartment -- with a bed in the living room area and a bed in the bedroom. There is a microwave, a refrigerator, and a Keurig. You have a full sized bathroom as well, and a legit living area with a couch and a couple chairs. It is perfect to split amongst 4 people; you won't feel crowded! * It is a walk upstairs. You can get to The Loft using a separate entrance from the house. You do not need to walk through the main house to get to The Loft. We liked this a lot, for privacy. But, you may need to make several trips to/from your car if you are carrying a lot of luggage. If you are unable to carry luggage on your own, I'd recommend having a friend help you or, if you are staying alone, I would recommend a different room at Cypress. The walking up the stairs was not an issue for me and my friends, but I think it could have been an issue for my parents. * It has a outdoor patio area with 4 chairs around a small table, and you have a distant view of the ocean. It's lovely. The B&B experience: Bill was simply fantastic throughout our stay. The breakfast was delicious every morning. My husband and I are early birds so had no issue making it in time for the 8:30 breakfast. The breakfast was fresh and yummy! You are walking distance from the beach (like a 3 minute walk!). The B&B has chairs for your use, so you can grab one of those chairs and walk over to the beach. You're also walking distance from a few restaurants and to Duck Donuts if that's your thing. We tried Duck Donuts for the first time on a morning walk; it was ok -- to each their own! Tips: If you are driving to Duck for a wedding, please leave the Cypress 2 hours before your event start! We had no clue how bad traffic could get. What should have been a 20 minute ride took slightly over 2 hours. Apparently, it's just like that on the weekends (especially Saturdays), so you've been warned! All in all, we had a fantastic experience here and will be excited to return.

It all just felt yucky!! The breakfast muffins were standard grocery store and the coffee you make yourself was weak and lacked flavor. They have age old hand scribbled sticky notes everywhere telling you what not to do including a large envelope asking for housekeeping tips. Even the sunset pier had broken furniture. For $175.00 per night I would not stay here again. In fact, I would not stay here at any price. I would have been happier in a chain motel!!

Filthy, Unsafe, and Insulting Response - Do NOT Stay Here!…read more I have stayed in many places over the years, and this was by far the most disgusting and poorly managed property I've ever experienced. This place should not be advertised at the rate I paid -- it felt like a $50-a-night roadside dump, not a $200+ vacation rental. Here's what I encountered: * Black mold in the bathroom and even on the doors, a clear health hazard. * Thick layers of dust coating the ceiling fans, window ledges, and even the walls -- clearly no one has cleaned this property in ages. * Lamps literally falling apart. * The entire room smelled musty and damp, making it feel unclean and unsafe. * Trash scattered throughout the backyard, including a dirty diaper just left behind. * To make matters worse, there was an animal scratching inside the walls at night, making it impossible to sleep. When I reported these issues to KEES Vacations management, they only offered a pathetic $30 "goodwill" refund, which is beyond insulting given the condition of this property and the amount I paid. It's clear they have zero concern for guest safety, cleanliness, or satisfaction. This property is completely unkempt and neglected. I will never stay at a KEES property again, and I strongly urge others to stay far away. There are plenty of clean, well-managed places to stay -- don't risk your vacation, your health, or your sanity here. Bottom line: * This place is a health hazard. * KEES management is dismissive. * Absolutely not worth the money. Do yourself a favor: DO NOT STAY HERE.

if I could give this place negative stars I would. It's self check in like an Airbnb, which I…read morethought was cool... until we needed literally anything at all... The room had a musty smell that *immediately* began to bother my allergies, its by the beach so I figured it was just hard to keep completely dry. You get limited resources, 3 small, sad pillows, no extra blankets, 1 towel per guest, and no place to get water (except the shower or bathroom sink and just... no.) or ice even in the entry area and hall. The bathroom door didn't latch, much less lock and even if you held it closed there was a 2in peep hole where the latch *used* to be and the wood is worn down. We're married, c'est la vie. The toilet did *not* want to flush but if you held it a while it finally would. There was no hook for the hand towel they provided so we draped it across the back of the sink- not ideal. Still, the room seemed nice enough at first.. until we tried to shower. It had a jacuzzi tub that we were excited to try and now will fuel my germaphobia and nightmares for years to come. The shower walls had someone else's hair on them, an indication that they had not been cleaned. We were sore from the drive and the tub looked clean enough, even though the walls were gross, we planned to shower after anyway. To start, it was broken, if you pressed the button the bubbles would start but as soon as you took your finger off the button, it stopped. We rigged it with our keys to get it going. When the vents started, the water began to make *actual* bubbles... we had not used soap yet. Then, to our everlasting horror, when the bubbles burst against the tub wall, a greenish brown scum spread across them. I about vomited so we quickly tried to drain the tub (we had to pry the plug out because it didn't have a handle or anything). The dispensers for both the soap and shampoo were empty. They didn't even spurt a tiny bit out so they have probably been empty for quite some time. We had checked this ahead of time, thankfully, and borrowed some from travel companions in another room (they, too, were almost out. So, we had a coffee cup with *maybe* two quarter sized squirts of soap- once I added hand soap to the mix?). We always bring soap but it was only one night and hotels always provide it, right? Once we had scrubbed the top layers of our skin off, we climbed into a creaky and *very* uncomfortable bed. The shade on the window beside the bed would not go down further than halfway and the curtains were this so they did not block the lights from the street. The AC is above the closet so there is no way to cover the light it produces which was an impressive amount (at this point, just about anything would have annoyed me, so...), this meant that there were bright lights on either side of us. The toilet periodically made loud running water noises even though no one was using it. This, too, made sleep difficult. Hands down, the *worst* hotel experience of my entire life. I created a yelp account for the sole purpose of warning all potential guests away. TLDR: Please, SPARE YOURSELF. Rent some place else.

We booked this hotel because my husband is a veteran and we got a good deal, however there were…read moreplenty of things advertised that were very false. No continental breakfast, which was advertised there was then you got redirected to its now $7 for guests who stay here and then we tried to eat there and they wanted to charge you $10 for adults and $5 for kids no matter the age. For the price you pay, breakfast being included should be a must. The Tiki Hut had wonderful food however the waitress we had was rude and the owner made a big deal over google saying they give military discount, he did honor it but he copped and attitude saying "i'd love to see where it says we offer that". The pool house is disgustingly hot, the pool is filled with sand (which is understandable since we're by the beach) but the last day we stayed there was literal seaweed floating in the water. The hotel has an odor when you walk in & there's only 1 washer and dryer unfortunately. Our room was okay other than the fact the bathroom is a slight upgrade from an airplane bathroom and there is mold growing on the curtains above the air conditioner. Plus sides to this hotel is there is beach access and feet washes on the walk way to the beach, the cleaning people change your sheets daily and clean your shower & floors so the sand isn't so bad. The beds aren't comfortable, they also squeak but they're doable when you're exhausted. Overall experience for us is a 5.5/10, as for my family we will not return to this hotel. Save your money on this overpriced hotel and book an airbnb.

When I asked them about it they said that the hotel doesn't assign room with ocean views to travel club members. They then changed an additional $200.00 a night for the ocean view.

Also, the door to the first room wouldn't shut unless you pulled very hard from the hallway. Doesn't help when in the room and the faucet in the ocean view room drips. They did nothing about either problem! Hotel is old and the rooms are outdated. The view was nice!
