This place is a gem! We found it a bit by accident on our roadtrip from FL to NC. It was New Year's Day and fantastic. The location is practical, pretty, and historical. There's the submarine memorial, the USS York (Carrier), a Battleship, parks, groceries, and everything you need in the immediate vicinity. It's a big resort offering lots of activities on property including an outdoor area great for kids and adults to gather with a huge outdoor fireplace. The views were amazing and the room was quaint. We loved the nautical theme. It was too cold to get into the pool, but the pools looked nice. We would love to return when it's warmer and we can enjoy the outdoor areas more! Lastly, we didn't need services, but the front desk staff was much more polite and friendly than the snooty place we left in Savannah.

It’s a beautiful resort, and my husband and I (with our baby) chose to stay here to celebrate our anniversary. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, which we really appreciated. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a lovely harbor view. And surprisingly, the bed was very comfortable! We also really appreciated that our room was located between staff rooms, which added extra privacy and made the stay feel quieter and more comfortable. Another nice touch was the complimentary coffee offered in the lobby—it was great and genuinely delicious. There’s also an outdoor bar on the property that was closed during our stay, though I imagine the atmosphere is very pleasant during the summer months. The price felt a bit high though, especially considering the additional charges for amenities like the pool and hot tub, which weren’t really usable in January. We had hoped to use the hot tub, but unfortunately it wasn’t warm enough. When we first arrived, the light in the toilet room wasn’t working, and some of the recessed lights in the main room also wouldn’t turn on. The lamps provided enough light, so it wasn’t a major issue. When we mentioned it at checkout, we were told that certain switches need to be turned on in a specific order for the lights to work, which felt a bit complicated and unusual for a hotel stay. Another small inconvenience was the lack of a mini fridge in the room. The hotel offered us a pack and play at check-in, which we appreciated as parents. Unfortunately, the one brought to our room was dirty and broken, which was disappointing. Overall, the stay was nice, and the resort itself is beautiful. With a few improvements and clearer value for the price, it could be a great experience—especially during warmer months.

I visited my friends who are staying here and I have to say they have amazing views.Their rooms are spectacular.Everything was clean.My friends say that the bed was super comfortable. The area is safe and fantastic. A group of us which was ten of us because they had six different rooms rented at this hotel went to blum coffee and wine bar at night.For their amazing bar specials for wine, craft beer's ipas, which we all love and we certainly were not disappointed. we heard their coffee was pretty good.But we did go during the evening. The hotel smells amazing inside and we would all definitely come back here.And my friends would definitely stay again. 10 stars

Fantastic get away retreat. Perfect for thr whole family. Even on the colder days it's nice to be here. Terrell at the main check in was wonderful to work with. He went out of his way to make us feel at home. Rooms are huge! The accommodations here are perfect.

I am updating my review. Dennis and Palma both helped make our stay a great experience. Dennis was very helpful during the reservation process and made everything simple and easy to arrange. When we arrived, Palma had the room prepared beautifully with the rose petals and the candles I brought arranged perfectly. The attention to detail really made the moment feel special. I appreciate the effort from both Dennis and Palma in making the experience memorable. Their help and coordination made everything come together nicely.

What a great location to relax, explore and just enjoy the views! We had a fun and great night stay for my Birthday! Enjoyed ourselves! Didn't eat much on the resort as there seems to be better options away from there. The breakfast buffet, that you have to pay extra for is very disappointing, about the same as a free breakfast you get as most hotels. Would be nice to have some inclusions as it's a resort but we will be back for the location for sure!

We’ve stayed at the Beach Club three times now and have absolutely loved it every single time. We loved it so much that we chose it as the venue for our wedding, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Everyone we interacted with went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. Our room was in excellent condition, and the food on-site was surprisingly great. It was far better than what you typically expect from a resort. My only complaint was there seems to be some plumbing issues with the hot tub and the air intakes are extremely noisy. A special shout-out goes to Georgia, who was truly exceptional to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. She went above and beyond in every possible way and made our destination wedding feel effortless. No other venue or coordinator we considered came close to the level of care, flexibility, and support she provided. Thanks to her, our wedding weekend was everything we dreamed of and more. Our guests absolutely loved the resort. Many of them raved about the property, the service, and how beautiful and comfortable everything was. We could not have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important moment in our lives. We highly recommend the Beach Club for both a relaxing getaway and a wedding. It truly made our experience unforgettable.

I travel a lot, and the beauty of this place is beyond words. An absolutely unforgettable experience for such a great price. The outdoor hot tub with warm and cold pools is incredible, especially in December. The harbor and bridge views are stunning, with breathtaking sunsets around 5 PM. The staff are exceptionally kind and welcoming, cleanliness is flawless, and the rooms are spacious, elegant, and beautiful. One of the most beautiful resorts in the U.S., without a doubt.
