“I see a property with a split personality. On one hand, it presents an ideal venue for weddings and events, particularly for those seeking an "Old Florida" aesthetic and access to the water. Yet, there are reports of significant cleanliness issues and dated facilities; this suggests a need for substantial updates to ensure a consistently positive experience for all guests.”
