This resort offers a warm atmosphere with clean and comfortable accommodations, and the owner goes above and beyond to create a friendly experience. The location is a huge plus, as everything is within walking distance, making exploring easy. However, the dining options can feel repetitive, and the room layout could use improvement for better functionality.

Our renovated first-floor room was clean but a bit cramped, with the shower and toilet located awkwardly. We plan to book an upstairs room next time for a better layout.

This resort has a stunning view and a friendly owner, but unfortunately, it falls short in several areas including outdated facilities and a disappointing breakfast. The service and pricing did not meet my expectations, particularly with hidden charges and the lack of breakfast variety. Overall, the charm of the place is overshadowed by the need for updates and better management.

Our stay at Water's View Inn was quite disappointing. While the view and location were truly outstanding, the overall experience fell flat due to the lack of personalized service and numerous issues with the accommodations. We did appreciate the mattress and the nearby pastry shop, but the absence of breakfast options and the state of the facilities left much to be desired.

Rooms

The room was very cold, and there were several maintenance issues including hard-to-close doors and no privacy from the outside. The bathroom was in poor condition and felt uninhabitable. Rating: 2

Service

The check-in process felt impersonal, and we struggled to get assistance. They mentioned we could text for help but there was little responsiveness when we needed it. Rating: 2

Location

The location boasts an outstanding view that is a major perk, but it doesn't make up for the rest of the issues. Rating: 9

Dining

Breakfast was very limited, consisting of just a few coffee cakes and fruit. It didn’t live up to our expectations for an inn. Rating: 3

Facilities

The facilities felt neglected, with many areas in disrepair and no shared amenities that would typically be expected from an inn. Rating: 2

The Last Resort is a charming spot that truly feels like a home away from home. The cleanliness and quiet atmosphere make it a perfect getaway, while the friendly service from Mary and her team adds to the warm experience. One drawback is the breakfast hours, which may not suit early risers, but overall, this place offers great value for a relaxing stay near the beach.

Our stay did not meet expectations. While the view and location were outstanding, the lack of an Inn experience, disrepair in the entrance, and poor bathroom conditions were significant drawbacks. The promised amenities, like the Jacuzzi tub and private deck, were nonexistent, leaving us disappointed and feeling misled.
