Beach Road Bed and Breakfast
It was very interesting. It’s a big house with different rooms. We all share the kitchen, living room, laundry room, pool and deck area. Overall it was pretty good. One thing that did irritated go get it brought our dog and all you can hear is another dog barking 85% of the time.!

Shutters on the Banks
Everything was clean and everyone was very nice. The kids enjoyed the pools and hot tub and it has great beach access. Our room was cleaned each day and we recieved new towels each day. Overall this is a very well managed, but dated, hotel.

Both the front desk and cleaning staff was very friendly and beyond nice in making our stay as pleasant and possible. Both the hotel’s main areas and rooms were very clean, nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable. We had a great stay.

Sea Ranch Resort
Had an unplanned overnight stay at the beach after a motorcycle breakdown. Staff was super friendly, good food in the restaurant and the room was clean and smelled good. Weather was terrible, but the hotel more than made up for the drama we had to deal with!

Mia's Boutique Hotel
The room was bare ones, yet clean. What I didn't like was that the windows didn't open so you couldnt get fresh beach air through the room.
