My family and I have stayed here for 7 years. It’s clean and exactly as described. The upgrades over the last few years have been wonderful. If ever an issue, Ms. Betty is extremely communicative to make it work. My kids love pulling out the puzzles and I love grabbing a few paperback novels left behind for fun beach reads. Tons of room! And as a mama to a big family, I’ve never lacked anything in the kitchen—we cook every night!

Rooms were clean and tidy. They had dressers & nightstands for each bed. The bathrooms, kitchen and common area were also clean and accomodated our group 9 adults between 16 and 72 easily. We walked to an ice cream shop after dinner one night. Grocery store and restaurants were easily accessible. The walk to the beaches just 5 minutes depending on how much gear you take. We definitely recommend this property.

Great stay at Sailfish!

My family of four adults, two children and two dogs greatly enjoyed our stay at Sailfish. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, and the kitchen had everything you could need for cooking in, if desired. We particularly enjoyed the deck with great views of the ocean, and the proximity to the beach.
