10/10 Excellent
"Was a great place to stay for the beach. Good sized room and comfortable bed. Only issue was the shower was a little small and I had to stand on the corner for the water to reach me."

Fin 'n Feather Waterside Inn By Kees Vacations

8/10 Good
"“Water view” is misleading - I assumed we were in the back overlooking the sound. No. We saw the parking lot, the 4 lane road, then a sliver of water. The blinds in our room do not cover the entire window edge to edge. Coffee maker- no cups. No soap in the dispenser at the sink."
