There was a roof replacement going on. The property while nice and quaint can definitely benefit for some refurbishing/renovating. The toilet was shaky and the toilet seat was smaller that the toilet bowl

Great place for that authentic island vibe! The people are extremely friendly and accommodating. Their recommendations were spot on. The location was within walking distance to shops, the bank, the grocery store and local fresh food. While the food at the resort was yummy, you should also try the places across the street! Would definitely recommend Idle Awhile!

Beautiful property within walking distance to other local destinations. That hotel was just a bit too quiet for me compared to other hotels I’ve visited. It’s ideal for the senior crowd.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay at Idle Awhile Beach. This small, boutique resort is directly on the beach, but remains quiet and well maintained. Service and restaurant was great! Just a few steps away from many great food stands and a grocery store. Highly recommended!

The villa was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. The staff were extremely nice and very helpful. However, one thing we noticed was the villa was very dark inside. There was no natural light coming through. There was just the kitchen light and a couple of lamps. Going up to the top bunk was ok but coming down was a little scary because of the darkness in the villa. A lamp or light to access would make it easier to come down. I think the lighting needs to be updated. It needs more of the natural light if possible. Thank you for a lovely stay.

This boutique hotel on the calmer part of 7 mile beach is A TREASURE! Our one bedroom suite included a large screened in porch with a dining table and hammock, delightful. Our room was spacious and high end from the designer floor tiles to the custom wood shutters. Loved it! The staff was attentive, morning coffee and toast delicious and we really enjoyed the SUPs, floatation cushions and the use of the hobbie cat. We will definitely be back!
