The Cabana Gardens B&B is conveniently located on Lake Avenue, just a few blocks from the beach and boardwalk. The property is well maintained and the rooms are clean and just big enough for two. The main attraction here is the pool and the price--if you don't want to mingle with the crowds on the beach, the Cabana Gardens has a wonderful pool in a garden setting with plenty of beach chairs and tables to accomodate guests; and compared to other B&Bs in the area, the price cannot be beat. One caveat--the noise from trash trucks dumping recyclables into dumpsters a half block away woke us up every morning, sometimes as early as 7 A.M.

We are just back from a family reunion and can not say enough about how much we enjoyed Cabana Gardens. It is spotlessly clean, decorated beautifully, comfortable beds and lots of furniture in each room. We enjoyed the pool too. The B and B is near the convention center and an easy walk to restaurants or the beach. Gary, the inn keeper, had several suggestions of places to eat. The breakfasts he put out were excellent too.

We have stayed at Cabana Gardens before and did enjoy certain aspects of this place. It has a very convenient location, walking distance to beach, shops and restaurants. Very nice private pool area and the rooms are very clean and tastefully decorated.I do agree with a previous posting that the location is very noisy, the recycling center trucks do wake you up in the morning and the traffic is rather heavy nearby. Also the owner I think does need some schooling in people skills.He apparently thinks his sense of humor is enjoyed by others. I think when one is asked a question about the town they live in a friendly and sensible answer is more appropriate than a snide dry witted little comment. If you can ignore the noise and the owner this place is nice.

My boyfriend and I were very excited for our getaway. The place was very nice and clean. Although, beware, the recycling hub of the beach was right next to the B&B and woke us up at 8:30am. It went on for about a 1/2 hour. It was very, very loud! No way to sleep through it.

On the morning of leaving (Sunday morning), we were a tad late checking out. I asked the owner, Gary, what time check out was, he said 11am, it was then 11:15. I told him that I didn't know that and that we would pack and leave right away. About 20 minutes later, he banged at the door. I said we were just finishing up and that we would be out in 5 minutes. The door was open and he saw that we were packing up. He unneccesarily said "if you are not out in 10 minutes, I will call the police".

We were stunned by his hostile behavior! To say that to a guest, was very inappropriate and extremely rude. Due to his bizarre and uncalled for behavior and the fact of the very loud trucks that wake you up at 8:30pm I would never again stay there.
