Bungalow w/ Heated Pool by Downtown & Beaches

It was also close to beaches, restaurants and shopping, including a Publix. The owners responded quickly when we had questions. I would highly recommend this property to other vacationers."

THE RESERVE RETREAT

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room above the Italian restaurant! A little of the camaraderie in the restaurant as diners discussed the evening didn’t bother me, but just be aware if you’re put right above the restaurant there is a little noise. The other rooms out lying on the property would not have this. My room was very well appointed and spacious as well as the bathroom. Would stay here again!"

10/10 Excellent

"The location was convinient and the staff were super friendly. The breakfast was real good. They also accept dogs."
