From the reviews

Our first time staying at the Beachfront Resort didn't disappoint! Room was spacious, clean and right on the beach/lake. Plenty of chairs to sit on the beach and relax. The amenities are great. Within walking distance to the Jet Express, bars and restaurants. Doc's has great food just a few steps away.

I was a bit worried with some of the reviews. But I think this place was awesome. Its so beachy and cute. Loved the jacuzzi tub. Everything was clean. The beach front was beautiful and quiet. I enjoyed being able to walk over to Docks restaurant. Had Everything you could need in a room.

★★★★★ — Joey, Nov 2025

We enjoyed our stay so much. It was a nice little spot right off the lake with its own little beach and restaurant next door. It's not a 5 star resort but we enjoyed it very much. The rooms were cute can tell the place was older but they decorated it nicely.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Oct 2025

We stayed here the weekend of May 18-20 and had a great time! The staff, especially Jennifer, were awesome. Very friendly and offered suggestions of where to go and what to do. The hotel was clean, beds were comfy and the location is perfect being right on the beach!

Getting married at Beachfront Resort

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
