What a great place to visit. The service from the Owner and staff here was prompt, fantastic and very friendly. The rooms, location and private beach take you away from it all, you know you are on vacation when you are here. Just a short walking distance from downtown PA. Thanks for the good times!

The attention to detail of cleaning shows. Rooms are more spacious than expected. Not fancy but neat. There's a Refrigerator, separate area for coffee & luggage storage. Close to stores & water though still some work on adjacent public pier & boat loading area. There is a clean pool on site & deck area on site.

We actually stayed here in the winter months on our trip around the thumb. But the room was warm, clean and the people were friendly.
