My weekend at the resort was a delightful escape, situated in a peaceful area just a short walk from the beach. The unit was spacious and had a cozy king-size bed, along with all the kitchen essentials and amenities I needed. The lovely surroundings with nature sightings added to the charm. While I adored the private beach access, navigating the steep wooden ramps might not be for everyone. Overall, it was a fantastic value for money experience, perfect for families wanting a quiet retreat.

Our family enjoyed our recent stay at Ocean Trails Resort. The accommodations were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, making it perfect for our family getaway. However, we had an unfortunate experience with customer service that marred our overall enjoyment. The prime location close to the beach is a big plus, making it easy for the kids to enjoy the water, but the noise from neighboring units can be a downside if there are rowdy guests.

We had a wonderful escape at this resort! The condos were spacious and well-equipped, making our stay absolutely enjoyable. The facilities were very well looked after, and the location provided easy access to the beach, which was a definite highlight. However, some of the units seem to need updates to match the overall standard of the resort. Our unit, in particular, had a few uncomfortable furnishings that detracted from our experience.

I rented unit #66 for a long-term winter stay, and while I appreciated the accommodating staff and quick maintenance response, the unit itself definitely needs updating. There are several issues that made my stay less comfortable, such as an outdated kitchen and some concerning cleanliness. Overall, it was a peaceful setting, but the room shortcomings were difficult to overlook.
