Exactly what we needed
The Island Vibe staff was immensely helpful during our stay. The views of the beach and the ocean were incredible and the room was comfortable. We appreciated the emphasis on guest safety and the on-site bar and the available food options made it convenient to stay on-site after a long day of outdoor adventures. The buildings are older, but well maintained, and even though we stayed over a weekend at the height of the holiday season, our room (which was more private with its own bathroom) was quiet.

Good budget stay
We needed a budget place to stay for one night on our trip home and this room was perfect for that. Island Vibe is a bit of rowdy party place but the family rooms are in a separate building and despite the party in the bar area the room was quiet.
