Was just there for one night and was first time there. The hotel was clean and staff friendly. The beach is just beautiful and with every room having an ocean view was a major plus!! Saw dolphins while sitting on our balcony, along with pelicans. Was a great night at the beach. Only complaint we had was the people above our room were smoking on their balcony which the smoke and smell came into the room while having our door open to enjoy the waves. Also, wish the bathroom and shower were bigger but they served their purpose! I cannot wait to come back and take the ferry out to the lighthouse and enjoy a longer stay once the Tiki Bar and restaurant are open! Thanks for a great nightNoteworthy details: The room was just as pictured on the website, clean and quiet. View was outstanding!! Saw dolphins, pelicans and a ship in the distance. Another plus of the hotel was they had beach chairs at no charge for us to use. Very nice amenity.

Apparently their old website still takes bookings, still accepts your credit card information, and gives you a confirmation number. Come to find out after we tried to check in that it’s no longer the way to book your room and they did not have a room available for us after all as they were completely sold out!! Might want to disable your old website so people don’t input personal information into it. Luckily we were able to find a different hotel after driving over 3 hours for a weekend getaway.

First time we stayed was last weekend April 6th 2024 and we are already booked again for this weekend which will be the week after we stayed the first time!!! My husband and I stayed and it was very nice. The rooms are very clean and very pleasant. We stayed on the very top floor and the view was beautiful!!! Right down the road, (maybe a mile) there is a store and a restaurant. All the staff we came in contact with were super sweet and helpful. We are soooo happy we found this beautiful spot. Thank y'all bunches!!!

The good: location, price, and service!The bad: Dirty room (crumbs in drawers, TV had sticky stuff all over it, toilet was leaking, floor was filthy). We were offered another room, but we declined since we had such a short stay. Hot tub wasn’t working at all, we specifically booked here so the kids could use it.We’ve stayed here six times and the rooms used to be spotless. For us this time will be the last.

The staff were friendly and attentive. Room was clean. This is a great place to stay and have an ocean view. No wifi in the rooms during the stay because it was down but it was ok. Will come again next year.
We loved our time at this hotel! The weather wasn’t great for ocean or pool swimming but the hot tub was a perfect alternative. The lobby and rooms were beautiful and the balcony overlooking the sea was a dream. I would definitely recommend a stay here.Rooms: Our room was very clean and comfortable.Nearby activities: We enjoyed walking the beach to collect seashells. Walking the pier. Nature walk to the marshes. We did an abbreviated tour of Ft. Macon. Found good food and warmed up in the hotel hot tub.Walkability: I would not say that the hotel has great walkability. The island, like most beach front communities is a bit crowded with busy streets and view blocking buildings. I would not have attempted to walk my children down the busy roadway to get to shops and restaurants.

Great, clean hotel directly on the beach. Every room has a balcony and a beautiful view of the ocean. We had a great time playing on the beach and in the hot tub. There was some booking confusion with their old website. Thankfully we got a room no problem and it ended up being less expensive. Will definitely stay here again.

The staff were AMAZING! If i was just rating them then the hotel would be 5 star!! However, the hotel itself was not good! The website said there was a restaurant and lounge. These things weren't open as they have been in previous years. If you have a hotel with a restaurant in it then the restaurant should be opened when the hotel is. I also got and email stating there would breakfast, that was not the case.Once inside our hotel room, we were missing essentials (had to go downstairs for towels and TP as there was none in our room. The wifi was not working at all in any room, in order to use the wifi you had to go to the lobby. Our key cards messed up 6 times and had to get redone. Also the sliding glass door for the balcony in our room was broken, so we were stranded outside in the cold a few times.We loved this hotel back when it was the clam digger and everything that it boasted about was open (even during off season) but this new “rebranding” and restaurant/lounge new ownership, really need to fix thing majorly!Walkability: Walk to the beach or the sound

Worst hotel stay I’ve ever had. First room was not cleaned and no sheets on bed, and front desk couldn’t seem to be able to tell which rooms were available. After about 30 min, they found one. There were about 6 cars in the parking lot, and off-season, so definitely NOT busy. WiFi didn’t work at all in our room. They told us our floor was too high up, and it worked fine in the lobby. Also said they were supposed to receive a router that morning, but didn’t. 2 days later, same thing. Bed was awful. Rock hard, and uneven to the point that if you got anywhere close to the edge, it felt like you would fall out. Hot water was very hit or miss. First morning, it took running the water for 10-15 before it got warm. No restaurant or bar was open despite the hotel listing mentioning them both as an amenity. The view was the only thing good about this stay. Will never stay here again.
