"Bryce at check in was very helpful and informative. Check in was a breeze thanks to him. We booked a room last minute and it was ready when we arrived. Clean and spacious. A good kitchenette for cooking some meals. Easy parking in the lot. Close to the park and easy to walk to the shore or to eateries along the main road. We’d happily stay here again. Worth noting, there was no AC in our room, which was fine for us. We saw a few ants, so be wary of leaving food out."

The Blue Pearl - 2 minute walk to the beach!

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in the Blue Pearl over Labor Day weekend - 2 kids and 2 adults. The location is what makes this place amazing! Also the fact that we were able to bring our dog. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back. The beds were comfortable, the property management company was helpful and communicated well with us. They provided plenty of beach gear as well. We knew ahead of time that the home did not come with AC, and it since the weather was in the 80s, it was definitely hot trying to sleep at night. Fortunately, they provide plenty of fans to help with air circulation and cooling. The only thing I wish we would have known ahead of time was that the beach does not allow dogs from June 16th - Labor Day Weekend. We made it work though, and had an amazing stay."
