Such a cute and quaint place to stay. I never saw the staff and so it was a bit inconvenient if you needed something. I ran out of conditioner and you don't have immediate access to request something if needed. Parking and signage on where to go upon arrival was confusing. But I would highly recommend this place because of the atmosphere.

This was a really cute property with six units that were all redone, because of Hurricane Ian. We stayed in the one called Tropical Paradise, and I would definitely stay there again. We also got to meet the owner and she showed us a few of the other units. The beach is across the street and you have to walk between two buildings to get there, but not a big deal.

This place was lovely!!! The island is going through a tough time. I wanted to come down stay and support locals! I can’t say enough about how lovely they stay was. Very close to the beach, park right outside your door. They have beach chairs and umbrellas for your use. Grill, shower, hose off or even shower!!! Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful room - Clean and modern. The only issue we had was the 2 living chairs and couch was uncomfortable as the cushions were too worn for sitting more than 1 hour.

Great Find
Pretty much brand new rooms following the hurricane - comfy bed, better than anticipated kitchette & bathroom. Nice touches & design throughout. Didn't get a chance to use the pool or grills but both looked well maintained & easy to use. Would highly recommend

I would like to suggest that bathtub-shower be provided with grab bar for safety....I think there are movable ones that can be attached to outer wall of tub, if permanent installation is not wanted. Otherwise, the facility was exceedingly well furnished and designed.

We stayed for two nights in Tropical King one bdrm suite. Room was very clean, we loved having the kitchen with full size refrig. Enjoyed use of the free kayaks. Easy walk to nice quiet beach, used facility provided wagon. Chairs and umbrellas also available. Pool very nice, and quiet. Great biking area if you have or rent bikes.
