My husband and I have been going here since 2003. We have always stayed in an ocean front cottage. I have NEVER seen any type of roach or any kind of bug during our stay. The towels are changed every day and not sure how many times they change your sheets, mop the floors and clean bathroom. The only problem we had was this year. Last year while there we booked for this year, always the same cottage. When we got there they told us that there were people staying in "our" cottage for another week and we would have to take the cottage that was reserved for them. I felt this was very unfair. Frank took the blame, but still did not ease my disappointment. I found out while there that the regulars that book for the following year do not get the same disount offered on their website - 1 free night. You can't beat the view or cleanliness. The outdoor furniture needed to be replaced when we were there - not sure if Frank has any intention of doing so, as he leases the property now.

My son was going to Embry Riddle. So needless to say, my husband and I have stayed here on numerous occasions. We were here even during the hurricanes 3 years ago and Frank the owner was SOOOOOOOOOOO nice. He kept us updated and made us feel at home during this very emotional time (the hurricanes had destroyed most of the business on A1A). Well my son finally graduated this year. I thought it was time to write a review on this amazing place! Let me start by saying it is not the RITZ! Thank god its not!!! However, if you want to feel like your at home this is definately the place for you. It is peaceful, tranquil, serene, quite, comfortable, clean, a place were you can really RELAX! It is very affordable too! There are not many children and if there are they are very well behaved. No wild parties in the room next door (your in your own cabana). We always stay in an ocean front cabana and always leave the door OPEN, windows too! NO BUGS!!! The view of the ocean is breath taking.
This year, given the fact my son was graduating from college, we need some family members to stay with us. Frank was so accommadating. They all had their own cabanas. At the last moment one family member could not make it and he refunded their money with no questions asked! We ALL had a GREAT time. The morning of the graduation I had a breakfast for the rest of the family right outside my door over looking the ocean....it was so beautiful! Now if you want to have elavators, a lot of noise, non friendly atmosphere and a very formal stay then this is not the place for you. If you want to be in a peaceful, friendly, clean, quite place with a great atmosphere then this is the ideal place! My husband and I will still go back for long weekends, just for us, a place where we can just relax and enjoy! Life is to short for all the hustle and bustle...we enjoy relaxing on our vacations! Do YOU?

PS....When your there please say hi to Frank for us!

My husband and I have stayed here three times prior, in 1999, 2000 and 2004 and always loved it here.

The amenities, pool and price are great.

We were very disappointed this time to wake up to giant palmetto cockroaches in the room. Sorry folks, but that is completely unacceptable to me and a complete dealbreaker.
It wasn't exactly pleasant in the middle of our vacation to have to pack up and change hotels.

They tried to brush it off as "this is Florida" or "maybe you left your door open too much". But I don't think so! We are very careful about never leaving our doors open, and sorry, but the "this is Florida" comment is ridiculous. We have stayed in florida too many times without bugs to accept that as a justification!

We moved to the HIlton, although more expensive, no bugs there! And what great service.

Well it started out with me not being totally sure if my husband and I should stay here on our vacation since there was not very many reviews about Shoreline. But their website had good info and the prices were great so we decided to give it a try and I am very happy with our decision. We stayed there from August 19th-Aug 23rd. We didn't stay a whole week b/c we were staying with family the rest of our vacation. Once it came time to check out we didn't want to leave!
When we first arrived around 5 pm the lady behind the desk (if she reads this , i am sorry but i can't remember your name) gave us a warm welcome and she was very friendly. We checked in and she gave us our room key. When i originally booked our room i booked a garden view (which garden view is basically the grass and some pretty flowers) one bedroom suite which was the same price as the cottage. When you first walk in there is a small living room with a couch, TV, and the kitchen area all in one room. THen you walk into the bedroom which has a full bed and a twin bed and the bathroom is off the bedroom. We went into our room to check it out and it was nice. For the price that we paid per night it was a great deal. But I started thinking that i wanted to look at the cottage b/c it has a queen bed. We have a queen bed at home so i don't know what i was thinking booking a room with only a full size bed. (who wants to downsize on vacation) =) So we went to the front desk and asked the lady if there were any cottages open for the time that we would be staying there and she said there was one open. She gave us the key so we could go look at it before we made a final decision but told me that its cute and that girls ususally like it better. So we went to the garden view cottage and as soon as we opened the door I loved it (my husband liked it better as well) So we went back and told her that we wanted to change to the cottage. And she made some quick changes to our paperwork and then we went back to the cottage to unload our stuff. When we walked into the cottage it is just one big room with the bed right in the middle. The bathroom was off to the left and a full kitchen was off to the right. It was perfect for us. Everything was VERY clean and that is important to us. The only complaint I have was that there was a small lizard in our room the first night and then also the next morning (but i guess we could expect that being in florida) Luckily I had some bug spray so i sprayed it along the bottom of the door and around the floor a bit and we had no more visitors after that.
Our first morning there we went to check out the continental breakfast. It is located in the office. They had coffee and tea and also different flavors that you could use. They also had doughnuts and fruit. Not a huge selection but the fruit was good and the coffee with caramel flavoring was great.
The view of the beach was so beautiful!! And the pool was awsome!! A lot of people said that we were crazy for going to florida in August but in my opinion it was the perfect week to be there b/c of kids going back to school. We pretty much had the pool to ourselves every day. The pool area was clean as well.
There was plenty of chairs to lounge in the sun. And outside the pool area there was a picnic type area with tables and more chairs.
Overall we were very happy with our stay at Shoreline and we would stay there again in the future. If you are looking for a 5 star high class hotel then this might not be the place for you. But if you are looking for an inexpensive, clean, great place to just relax and enjoy the sun then this is what you are looking for. I have several more photos. Please contact me and I can email them to you.
