Medlock Ames Winery Tours

The Coral Reef Inn is in a great location, just a short walk to the beach and plenty of nearby shopping and dining. Breakfast is complimentary but very limited—cereal, yogurt, toast, coffee, and juice—enough for a light start but nothing filling. The pool area definitely needs work, as the fencing is rusted and falling apart, which feels unsafe with children around. Parking, however, was plentiful and convenient. The property seems to have both short-term guests and long-term residents, as some balconies were clearly personalized and decorated. Staff was overall kind and helpful, though communication could be limited at times. The front desk stood out as knowledgeable and professional; one staff member mentioned working there for over 16 years, which gave confidence in the management. We had one minor issue with our key cards, but maintenance quickly resolved it. Our room was comfortable, though very outdated in décor, but everything worked as needed. The big plus was having a working stove and oven, which made preparing meals easy. Wi-Fi was spotty but manageable. Overall, my family enjoyed our stay, and despite its dated look, the inn offered comfort, convenience, and good value for the location. We’ll keep it in mind for future visits. For a great nearby meal, check out South Shore Café—a cozy mom-and-pop spot serving delicious breakfast and lunch, highly recommended.
