Good concept but still needs some work. I'm not sure there is much that can be done with the noise both from the road and between units. It is what it is.

It was a cute little place for sure. And a nice little place to stay while we worked in Alligator Point over the weekend. The only complaint that I have is that we stayed in one of the single digit rooms and there was parking behind the building. Around 12:30 amsomeone pulled up with their car and left their lights on for a few minutes and it woke us up because the lights from the car came through the bathroom blinds and directly in our faces while we were in bed.

We stayed here for one night on our way to St. George Island. It’s located just down the road from Crum’s Bait & Tackle, Wooly Park, The Salty Donkey, and many other places. The room was super clean and smelled even cleaner when we went inside. The boys walked to the bay to fish and had a great time. I’d definitely stay here again.
