We really enjoyed our short time at Rod and Reel Resort. They were in the middle of construction to add additional rooms so that was a little bit of a bummer. But, happy that they will be able to accommodate more guests. We did have the fire alarm go off at 530am on Sunday… not sure what happened. It we were back inside quickly. Looking forward to going back when construction is complete. Had a very nice time at the outside bar/restaurant.

Overall it was a very nice stay. We didn't know when you booked the room that the resort was under construction. There was lots of banging and contruction people at our window. The room humility level was terrible. There wasn't much of a way to control it. We used the thermostat on the air conditioner to try to deal with the noisture, but it was cold and damp. My shoes were wet when we left.

We wanted a stopover with marina/ocean views and Rod 'N" Reel didn't disappoint. Read the most recent reviews. Complaints from a year ago didn't happen to us. There is definitely major construction right now but as they are building a new wing but it didn't bother us. Make sure you pay attention when booking as not all rooms have balconies. We were able to upgrade on-site and I can totally recommend have sundowners on your balcony. We ate a great seafood dinnner at Trader's (about a 5 minute walk) and it was so good we had brunch the next day on the way out. Great value for money.

Lisa, Alisha and who I call Clark Kent did a phenomenal job during our stay! Everything from our Room 215 which was the best in the entire building. To include the bicycles which we utilized during our stay to ride into town to pick up crabs and later went back to eat oysters on the water. I highly recommend staying its home away from home .. very romantic and relaxing. This is my little hideaway ❤️💋

One of our most pleasant stays recently. EVERYONE in the are was very friendly. About 45 minutes after checkout today, there was no hesitation or annoyance of 5 or so employees searching for my son’s wallet for at least 30 minutes… staying again in November - already booked!
