We had a lovely relaxing stay. Our cottage was very pretty and big enough for our needs. It has a lovely small yard for our little dog. It is surprisingly private and quiet. The pool was lovely. The dock is so peaceful and a surprising little oasis. We loved our stay.

What a wonderful, unique and beautiful property! We rented a whole cabin for 4 of us, which was perfect! Spacious, quiet, staff were so friendly and there was great communication about the check in process. We arrived a bit late, but that was no problem at all! Lovely facilities around the property with access to a water down on the docks and a lovely swimming pool as well. And they even had the first cup of coffee for you in the cabin!

Exceeded our expectations. We were in a remodeled cottage. Bigger than I thought it would be. With one queen bed and full kitchen and pull out sofa and nice big bathroom.. So cute and clean with an outdoor little patio area with privacy fencing. Pull right up to your front door. Ice and snacks in the office for cheap. Cute clean pool. Not crowded Fishing pier with covered shady areas. So nice! Nice owners!

Our stay was wonderful. We were in the one-bedroom cottage right by the river. It was a beautifully decorated place, clean, nicely furnished, and the kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pots and pans, cutlery, etc. PLUS there was a wonderful private patio and a big shade tree. All our good intentions for getting out on Saturday were lost as we relaxed out there! After a hectic week, it was lovely to kick back and enjoy the peace and quiet.

My FAVORITE stay of our trip! This property was amazing my only negative is that I wish we could have stayed longer than two days. The staff was friendly. The pool was fabulous. Our room was perfect, clean, and quiet, and had a bonus rooftop patio that was great. Do not let the trailer park ( it was a nice one ) scare you. This is a gated oasis on the water. A true gem.

Pirate's Pointe Resort was the perfect location for us while visiting family nearby! This cozy bungalow felt very "Florida" in the best way, bright colors and beautiful lush landscaping. We also really enjoyed being able to walk out on the dock to view the beautiful surrounding areas on the water. Owners Tammie and Tom go above and beyond in making sure your stay is comfortable and even made an effort to check in with us during our stay. You can tell that they put a lot of effort and care into this local family owned and operated establishment. We would definitely stay here again when in town.

This was a nice property by the water. I took a walk to the dock and got to enjoy some birds. The parkling is convenient right outside the cottage. I was called multiple times regarding check nn. This is a practice some properties use in order to not staff the office. It is not my favorite. I arrived at the property between 6 and 7 pm on a Friday. The office was closed. I went to check in at 815 Saturday morning and no one was at the office. I had to interrupt my visit with family to return to the property in the afternoon in order to sign paperwork. I checked out very early Sunday morning.

I feel compelled to write a review to potentially save others from some trouble and money. The motel itself is in a decent location and appears quaint. The trouble I had was with the owner and the way this property is managed. I booked a room for a few nights several months in advance for my mother, my niece and myself. I then tried canceling a week after booking due to an extreme circumstance and gave the hotel 2 months notice. The hotel refused a refund and told me the reason is because I blocked others from being able to book, even though I only held on to the room for a week. If you book at this resort and need to cancel for any reason, regardless of your situation, regardless of how much notice you give, you will still be charged full price. The owners lack professionalism, empathy and understanding. It was a nightmare communicating with them and I would not recommend this place especially if you are from out of town. I LOVE to support small businesses and entrepreneurs, but unfortunately, this one is not good and you would be better off sticking with a chain hotel. This motel kept my money for a service that I did not recieve. Don't let the same happen to you, beware and think twice!
