Not sure how this is a “resort,” but I have stayed at Motel 6’s that cost one fifth the price and were more luxurious. Staff was very pleasant but there was nothing pleasant about the accommodations. Second floor room with no luggage cart, had to walk everything up a flight of stairs. No front door. The “doors” were sliding glass patio doors with cheap locks that did not feel secure at all. Room was barely adequate, double beds instead of queen, dirty bathtub. Sleep was impossible. Air conditioner was wall mounted with bright digital display which lit up the room and it was too noisy to keep running all night (although when it was running it drowned out the noise from the highway). Worst of all, our second day there they installed fire alarms in all the rooms. These flashed all night long like a strobe light and kept me awake and gave me a migraine. We finally had to step on a chair and put towels over it so we could get some sleep. We shared a connecting room with friends. (One of them slept with black underwear over his face to drown out the strobe lights.) The doors between the rooms had no door handles so couldn’t be easily opened and didn’t close completely. The patio deck outside the rooms was shared with adjoining rooms so that until 2 in the morning there were people talking literally outside our front “door.” The grounds were not really useable. Had a couple of kayaks (but no life jackets or paddles that we could see), a boat dock, a tetherball pole, a couple of hammocks, a couple of grills. Didn’t check out the pool because just sitting outside on the patio, we were eaten alive by mosquitoes and/or noseeums. My legs and arms are itching like crazy. We chose this place for it’s convenient location midway down the keys, and it was at least a good location. I understand there are new owners and I wish them luck. As it is now, it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had on a vacation and I could not recommend this place. What a waste of money.

The new-ish owners should update the website. Some features are no longer here, such as the aviaries, canoes and paddleboats. That said, my husband and I enjoyed the beautiful landscaping, the wonderful pool, the hammocks, sitting on our room's balcony for sunrise and seeing the sunset over the Gulf. The property dates to 1
the 1960s. There are 2 kayaks available, which could use some carrying handles but fun to use. Especially charming are the several large lizards that live along the edges of the shoreline. They are shy, so no worries if you watch from a distance! We stayed in the Dolphin room, which wasn't featured on the website. It is newly renovated featuring a new bath, roomy bedroom and cozy sitting/kitchen area. On the second floor of the office building, it faces the Gulf, with a balcony facing east. The kitchenette has only very basic cookware and dishes/utensils but we were able to make breakfasts and lunches. There is a small gas stove/oven, an apartment sized refrigerator, a basic Keurig, a microwave, toaster, some cabinets and a good-sized sink. The laundry room is shabby but functional. It coast $4.00 a load for both washing and drying. All staff members were professional, friendly and hard working. Like everywhere, they are short handed. Winn Dixie and Publix are about 15 minutes away.
