Coastal Waters Inn

Beach access.

Cleanliness, safety concerns, misleading listing, and lack of support from management. Beware of suite 306. We booked a junior ocean view king room expecting a basic but clean and functional space. Unfortunately, the unit did not match the listing photos and we did not feel comfortable staying (checked in 3pm, vacated 7:45pm same night). Parking was extremely limited (approximately 15-20 spaces for 50+ units). We paid $20 for public beach parking (but this expired at 11pm same night). When asked about overnight, we were directed to overflow parking across a busy multi-lane road with no safe pedestrian access, which was not disclosed in advance and is not practical for families. Access to the unit was also concerning. The exterior stairs appeared worn/unsafe, the keypad entry did not function, and the lockbox was difficult to use. Inside the unit, the condition did not reflect the listing photos. For reference, there are no photos of suite 306 with a King bed, only with double beds (so we would have no way of knowing the condition of the space in advance). The bedroom layout was extremely tight with very limited space to move between the King bed and TV (like 18 inches). This area is the only walkway to the bathroom & balcony. The flooring was coming apart in multiple areas, there were random food items left in the kitchen. The bathroom was not clean with visible hair and debris, particularly around the toilet, and a shower curtain with visible mold. There were black hairs in the bed and throughout the bathroom. The balcony flooring also did not feel safe. We arrived shortly after check-in, briefly used the space to rinse off after the beach, and made the decision to leave the same evening due to these concerns. We did not stay overnight. When we raised these issues afterward, they were dismissed and no resolution was offered. Also reported to Booking, with no resolution.

Location!

The property was in a great location right on the beach. There was plenty of security to make you feel safe. The room was beachy and clean.

I really didn’t like the overhead shower head. Make sure if you don’t want to wash your hair that you have a shower cap.

Everything went smoothly with information communicated in a timely fashion for our arrival.

no exhaust fan in bathroom

Pool accommodations

Lock to door very difficult to use with keys. Television confusing

We love the location. The condo was also clean and well supplied. The complex is quiet and family friendly.
