Easy access to the beach was the best. Just took my beach chair and took the path directly to the beach. Parking was easy and safe. The kitchen had everything needed to cook along with dishes and silver ware. Clean linens were provided along with toilet paper and paper towels. The room was very clean and loved the nostalgic bathroom, but the tub needed some TLC and cleaning around the caulk. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The pool was also clean and the water was warm for a nice evening swim. My only complaint was there were 2 remotes for the tv...one worked and one didn't and should have been removed. We will definitely come back and stay again:) Thanks for a wonderful Spring Break 2026!!
I was able to change to a lower level room however since they don’t allow early check in I most likely won’t be staying again. It’s a cute place and the lower level rooms are all new! Bed was comfy and everything else in the room was nice, I just prefer to be able to check in so I can enjoy all my time on the beach
Very clean and has everything you need. 2 burner stove refrigerator. Table for 2 to sit. Snacks and water! You can see the ocean and quick walk to the waters edge. Nice walking trail. Pool was very clean and nice. Cant wait to go back

Beautiful spacious room. Quick walk to the waters edge. Very helpful ataff
Arvilla is a hidden gem on the beach. It is a smaller hotel but extremely well-maintained. It has a clean pool with nice chaise lounges to chill on. The room is newly renovated with nice decor and has a fully equipped kitchen, should you decide to cook. The bedding and mattress are of a good quality: you will have the best sleep! If you are looking for a perfect getaway, look no further: Arvilla won’t disappoint you.
We enjoyed the size of our room the view from our room was beautiful 😍 the stuff was great our tv broke and the maintenance man was there in ten minutes with another tv so over all we had a great vacation
Great classic small motel feel on the beach - affordable and yet comfortable.
To check in, had to call sister property - might be good to know this ahead of time.
Parking was very tight and limited.
The unit was clean. We did have a couple issues. The sleeper sofa was right next to the bed, so there was no room to open it. Our daughter slept on it as a sofa not a bed. There was no blanket for it either, they did provide one after I texted them. There were no closets or a place to hang dress clothes. Over all a nice place at the beach.
Room 109 had just been renovated. We truly enjoyed our stay. They are renovating all the rooms from what we witnessed while there. Just know to go down to the sister motel (The Oasis) for check in…. We sat in our gulf view room and watched the fireworks right from our window
It was great! The room was so cute and updated. The bed was very comfortable, you don’t get that often at a hotel. The pool was clean and are places to sit around it also there are chairs outside the rooms. The staff responded to messages quick. I most definitely will be coming back soon!

At the time we checked in a sign on the door told us to go up the street to check at a sister hotel. Once I got to that hotel. it was not an easy to find the office. They could have put a map on the door. Better yet, they could have emailed a notice that this was how you check in and where. This matters because they only give you a 2 hour window to check in. They are in the middle of a remodel and our room was not remodeled, dated but clean which explained the low price. Hot water was good, 2 burner stove, small fridge with freezer and microwave. Beds where fine. AC cold. Pool was in excellent shape. Overall everything clean and quiet. They had pots but bring everything else, plates, cups, plasticware. Blinds were ok but room was bright. Great view of the ocean but a quarter mile walk to the water. We stayed in June of 2025, Mon thru Thur. Quiet time of the week. We would stay again for the right price and knowing what to expect.
Great ppace to stay! Easy communication with staff. Walk to the ocean! Many good restaurants in walking distance. Super clean rooms and amenities. Have stayed here many times and will absolutely be back!
Pool was very nice. Room floor needed cleaning. Location of resort was close to beach.

The place has a terrible check-in process. That needs to be improved. The rooms are nice...They need to improve having soap in the shower. They need to address the water backing up in the shower in some rooms. We had a party of 20 people ND reserved at least 6 rooms. There were small issues with each room. And the parking is insane. Let people park across the street at your other property. Don't send us down the street for overflow.
Only 1 washcloth, had to clean air-conditioner filter,no broom or toaster. Head board was dusty. Trash under the pull out couch. Pull out couch couldn't fold down in the position it needed to be because of the space between couch and shelving. Pool area was full of broken tiles, only a few loungers and no outdoor tables or dining areas. Grill caught on fire while there due to lack of cleaning from staff.
Do not let pictures fool you. The pool was dirty and discusting. Two of my grandchildren got infections from the pool, a double ear infection and a urinary tract infection. The hotel was never occupied by any staff so therefor the hotel was not maintained. There was trash that would pile up, the pool area was never cleaned. Because of this, there were rats. After we notified the office which was a block away about the pool, it was shut down for 2 days while they had a company to clean it. Very disatisfied and will never go there again.
