Pros +
- Very clean and right across from the beach
- Wonderful accommodations. Location was great and peaceful. Short walk across the street to the beautiful beach. Will stay again with my family in the future.
- The set up with bunk beds and a bedroom were very comfortable.
Cons -
- Bed was very firm but other than that no issues at all.
- There was only one chair in the main area other than the dining table.
- The owners or managers who ever they are because you never meet them. They convers through text message and they only care about money. If you need something they will get back to you when they want and there staff will do it when they want. It was off season and they were so slow. As if they were on season. Plus they never answer the phone and it takes them forever to get back to you. But if you owe them anything they will hound you all day long. It is crazy how they do buisness. The staff is not that bad. Because they can move as fast as managment. So not really there fault. But managment is harrable to deal with. Withing my stay there. I saw three groups of pepole have to make other arrangments to stay else where because the managment staff would not get back in touch with them. One group had like 10 or 15 folks made there reservations in october and when they got there in decmeber the managment wasnt even ready for them. The place is nice. But for how the managment treats you and hounds you if you owe them something. Not worth it. Not worth it at all.

Not much
The managment is harrobile. Dont stay there. If you need anything you cant call they wont answer. They only text and they take there time to do it or get back to you. But if you owe them anything. They will hound you all day long. Pluse they will expect you to change rooms if they double book your room. By moving you to a small room then what you had and still pay the same. Not a good place caused me and my wife bad problems.
It's beautiful with the Gulf located right across the street. This is Laguna Beach, FL. If you like less noise less traffic and to see beautiful sunsets you need to stay at the Catalina no one bothers you and its very clean and beautiful. We will definitely be back stack for a month and a half.
the room was clean, the staff responded quickly to text, the location right across from the beach was nice. the kitchen had pots/pans/plates/untensils. new towels every 2 nights. parking was easy and right in front of the room.
nothing i didn’t like
Thanks again for a wonderful visit, we come every year and it is so amazing, we use the gas grills and the kitchen has everything we need. We love, love, love the pool and the beach is very quick and easy. There are several grocery stores close by and restaurants. We enjoy this quiet spot and can get to Pier Park and attractions very easy and enjoy the west end of the beach.
Location was wonderful and the room was nice and clean. I would recommend to anyone.
We did not like the fact that the windows did not have more coverage. People could see inside of our rooms and how bright they were. The shower curtain wasn’t great either water got in the floor all the time. The pillows in bed are extremely uncomfortable. We had to go buy more pillows.
It was a beautiful location beach right across the street. Open your eyes and first thing u could see was the ocean Would recommend it to anyone wanting to go and stay at a peaceful place.
Had some sand here and there and the shower was left uncleaned and dryer have someone underwear left behind Staff very hard to reach We called and text about what we had going on and their reply was thank you for staying check out is at 1030 other than that it was very nice
Location was great. The only difficulty that I experienced was finding the facility. There were no markings or signs on or near the hotel.
Nothing available to tell me where the hotel is at.
Price location early check in
The pool was milky, unable to enjoy
Convenient to the beach access.
Parking spaces are small and tight, but we managed.
So close to the beach and quiet! The staff was attentive and on time for new bedding and towels.
The pool needs to be treated more frequently with chemicals. It was a little cloudy a few days.
Very nice location. Tile floors. Smelled fresh and clean. Practically beachside!
The upstairs occupants were scooting chairs for hours it seemed and heavy walking noises all hours.
Family friendly atmosphere. Facility is very attractive and clean.
There was nothing telling us that we were at our destination.
We love this cute spot and it is so quiet compared to other areas. The beach is not crowded and practically beach front and took us a few steps to be on the beach. We loved the extra pool towels next to the pool and made it extra nice. We made a few meals for dinner and the kitchen was perfect.
We had an amazing stay and we loved the quick easy Check in and the sunsets on the beach! It is just steps from the sand to the water. The room itself was clean and had all the amenities we needed.We loved the easy access to the beach, as well as the pool area which was quiet and relaxing and planning our next trip.
Wish we could stay longer
Everything was wonderful! The beach was close and the pool was clean and warm. We stayed in room 86 and was perfect for me and my daughter. Thank you so much for allowing our Schnauzers. As far as the shower, easy fix to not get all over the floor, just lower the curtain rod. We will be back. :)
We loved how close it was to the beach. The pool was nice and easily accessible. The staff members were friendly and super attentive. Anything we asked for arrived in moments.
The floors were a little sandy when we got there, but it is understandable as it is right on the beach. It does seem a little bit understaffed because the two people working there were very busy.
