We had the best time at tge Beach Shack. We loved being across the street from the beach and having a pool with ample lounging chairs. It was also so lovely to have the Rusty nail w/ the fire pits and live music. The smell of the wood burning fireplace at the restaurant was also delightful. We already rebooked for next year since we had such a great experience.

Loved the location and the room was amazing just wish we had gotten a room that didn’t face the inner wall of staircase and could have gotten a room the looked out to view of pool area/ ocean. Bathroom was very clean and so was room. Wish it was more affordable because then we would go back again and again.

Great place close to everything

Service was amazing. They text you the day of your reservation and offer free beach tags and beach service (chairs, umbrella setup, etc) before check -in. Our room was also ready a little before check -in. Room was clean and spacious. Doors were a bit sticky but I think this is common in beach homes/hotels. Pool was clean. Grounds were beautifully kept. I would easily stay again.

The place is clean and the renovations are very nice. The parking needs some improvement. I get the idea of valet but hard to find a worker. Also… very disappointed as i reserved a patio room. When i got there i had been moved to second floor. They told me there was a maintenance issue… however there was someone in all the rooms. My daughter and i were looking forward to game night on the patio. I’ve never had this happen in all my years of staying here and Congress hall so a call ahead would have been appreciated if you over booked those rooms

I’ve stayed at “fancier” hotels, but the service at this place was unmatched. I stayed with my family of five plus extended family for three nights and we had a great time. Everything was so convenient, clean and there was always someone nearby to help. Proximity to the beach is amazing, plus a r he eat pool with a bar and food right next to it. Plenty of beach towels, free bottled water and our rooms were cleaned every day- that hasn’t happened since before Covid! We will definitely be back!
