We had a wonderful vacation here! We stayed in room 10 for three nights and loved every minute. The room had everything we needed. The main reason we chose the sunburst inn was that they were pet friendly. We will definitely be returning. The view of the beach and the amenities were better than we expected. It’s in a great location, several places to eat nearby and not far from two big grocery stores. The staff member we met (Jason) was very nice and gave us a couple of good recommendations for restaurants. We wish we had made a longer reservation but it’s ok, we will be back!

We had a wonderful time. It truly is a "Mom and Pop" place. Our room was cozy, clean and comfortable! We had the pleasure of meeting Brian. He was very welcoming and made us feel like we were at home. The views (especially the sunsets) are absolutely breathtaking. We highly recommend staying here! It is truly one of a kind!

After watching HGTV’s 100 Day Dream Home, we were excited to see that Mika and Brian renovated a motel on the beach near where we live so we made a reservation for a short, restful stay. Unfortunately, our room, Beachfront, Number 10, did not live up to the hype from the television show and we were disappointed.||But first, what did we love about the Sunburst Inn? The Gulf is just steps away from the property and the view of the Gulf is extraordinary! The weather did not cooperate but the one sunset we saw was magnificent! The deck outside our room gave a wonderful view of the Gulf and, had weather allowed, would have provided a wonderful place to have dinner or coffee in the morning. The surrounding area is quiet and, with the beach almost empty, it was like having our own private beach.||The staff were extremely courteous and accommodating. The area is within walking distance of one of the best restaurants in the area, with others close by. There are other wonderful shops and fun things to do. The almost full-size fridge was great and fit all our cold and frozen items. The kitchen is fully stocked with cups, dishes, pots and pans, everything you would need to cook meals if you decided to eat in. There are plenty of beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, bicycles, and games on the premises to keep you as occupied as you wanted. There are also quiet spots around the property to just relax and rest.||Some of the things that disappointed us: The room is smaller than it appeared on HGTV. When we walked into our room, the bed blocked the entrance. The two rugs on the floor were visibly filthy and should have been cleaned between guests, or at least more often than they are. For a unit that was renovated less than two years ago, the furniture was in poor condition and uncomfortable.||Lack of storage. There was one small, open rack on which to hang our clothing with maybe five hangers, and it was full of extra blankets and beach towels which left little room to hang our things. Also, there was one small, flimsy dresser for our other clothing. It sufficed, but just barely.||In the kitchen, counter space was limited. There were no empty cabinets to store personal items like tea, vitamins, phone chargers, etc., so everything had to stay on the counter with the motel’s provided glasses, cups, toaster oven and coffee maker. That made the counter space cluttered, with little room to eat a meal.||The air conditioner in the unit was not working when we got there, and as we found out later, neither was the one in the guest room next door. The motel did accommodate us by putting a portable floor unit in the bedroom area, but that unit did nothing for the living room area which faced the Gulf and got extremely hot in the afternoon. We got the impression that air conditioning units breaking down is not a rare occurrence here.||The exhaust vent in the bathroom did not work, making it hot and humid after showering and leaving no place but the living room to get ready. The Wi-Fi worked sporadically, especially after a rain storm.||Some of the hotel policies were also disappointing. For instance, check out time was 10:00 o’clock. It is usually 11:00 o'clock. And, for early check-in or late check-out, there is a $35 fee. This is usually a courtesy that a hotel or motel offers, when a room is available, and not something for which we have ever been charged. Finally, parking could prove to be a challenge, especially if the motel was at full capacity.||Bottom line: The room did not live up to the hype from the television show. This is basically a motel room with a kitchenette. The accommodation did not justify the cost of the room.

This was our second stay in 6 months. I absolutely love this property! The location, atmosphere, and amenities are awesome. The staff is wonderful. You have privacy if you want or you can mingle with other guests. The cozy rooms and sitting areas are fabulous. I'm already planning a third trip.

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The overall tranquilness for us was the best part. To wake up and enjoy the beautiful beach everyday was fantastic. Being a new couple to the Senior scene, there was plenty of activities and immunities offered to us from the Inn.

We just got back from a 2 night stay in room 9, and I can't say enough good things about the Sunburst Inn. Our room was cool! Very neat retro decor, very clean, and roomy. We had a beautiful view of the Gulf and the beach is literally 10 steps down the deck. Plenty of provided amenities like chairs and paddle boards. Communication was awesome and check in and out was a breeze. The area is a pretty cool beach town with neat shops very close. I can't say enough good things about our stay and my wife and I are already looking at our calendar of when we can come back!
