From the reservation information I expected a beach front room. Got one on the back on the other side of the street. The sofa bed was in poor condition and extremely uncomfortable. We decided to leave a day early and not spend the second night as my 2 kids could not sleep well in the sofa bed. Staff was friendly and the beach is beautiful

Hello Angelo,You had made your reservation through Expedia. If you had visited our website, you would have seen a map of the location of all of our rooms. The couch in the room you selected is actually brand new. I inspected the couch after your departure, and it appears to be in perfect condition. Thank you very much for your kind words about the staff. I will certainly pass them along.

We had a lovely time. We rented a cabana and I would highly recommend this. The beach is truly relaxing and beautiful. The only thing, although I did not pay attention much to the map where rooms are located ( and that is my fault), no where in the written description did I see that some of the cottages are located across the street from the main part of the facility. It was described as ocean side, but I think it should be more specific with room location. And the road is only 2 lanes, but busy. Otherwise, very nice.

We won’t be back
Our room was as clean as could be expected for a tired old hotel in a great location. The stairs and decking of our second floor (of 3 floors) unit were splintered and aged. There were extra charges for coffee beyond the first night, the laundry was dirty, small, and coin-operated, and even getting clean linens was a challenge. We paid $450/night for a pretty mediocre accommodation, except for the location… We won’t be back.

Hello Lori,Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We always supply 2 coffee pods to each room. The televisions in the room do work, if you were having an issue with them, we do wish that you would have called us to rectify the situation as we are available 24/7 to assist our guests. As you checked in later in the day, and left early in the morning, it is our hope that you will return one day for a longer stay that would allow you the opportunity to enjoy all of the amenities the resort has to offer.

A well kept resort with helpful staff that went above and beyond to make our stay helpful with happy smiles. We had Starfish which was very quiet, clean with pretty decor with a resort feel with little touches such as toilet paper folded like a rose, tissue container folded like a fan. Tommy Bahama shower toiletries and little touches that were extra special. There's lots of outdoor seating, a hammock, plenty of beach chairs, parking spot close to our room. There was a small area by the office with palm trees, cacti with 3 water fountains for a soothing oasis. I had the best view of the sunrise right outside our door. I can't wait to come back!

It had a small town vibe to it, they used Tommy Bahama soap instead of some stinky generic soap, they had beach chairs and other ammenities available to use on the island, and they were right next to the best beach in the Florida. The only dislike is we didnt know the cottage we stayed in was across the road and we thought it would be a beach front. Still a really short walk so not really a dislike. AMAZING EXPERIENCE

This property had a laid back old-school charm. I walked along the beach and found that many newer places had cleared all the trees from their property but Cedar Cove has beautiful palm trees with hammocks so that you can sip your drink and read your book in the dappled shade with an incredible view of the beach. The beach was so safe and clean that you had to walk past two sea turtle nests to reach the ocean. The ocean was warm, shallow, and gentle, perfect for my adolescent kids to play, swim and fish by them selves. The other guests were friendly and relaxed. The free bikes, beach towels and a little free library were very thoughtful touches. The kitchenette in our unit was supplied with all the conveniences, and the store was a bikable distance away, which was very convenient for my family. For folks unaccustomed to the heat of Florida, they had two completely shaded outdoor sitting areas for food and games, a bar with delicious cold drinks, and nice strong AC and ceiling fans in the apartment. This place was exactly the hole in the wall sleepy beach town vibe that my northern family was looking for. Thank you to all of the staff.
