“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 11, 2012

We have stayed at this motel many times. This time we took our 2 granddaughters, ages 10 and 7. Our room was extremely dilapidated and needing upgrades. Furniture and bedding very old and musty; towels were of poor quality.

Receptionist at front desk was unfriendly and going through the motions- almost rude. In fact when i asked for a map of the area, on our second day, I felt as though I was intruding. He handed it to me- no comment, no may I help you, etc.

Breakfast was sparse- packaged waffles, muffins, boxed cereal.

Although the Turtle Club is lovely and food is good, service was not up to par on the night we dined there. Same children's menu across the street on the bay side was $5.00 less per child.

Would we return to Vanderbilt Resort, I don't think so.

Room Tip: Unless rooms are updated, I can't suggest a room.

“Great trip, ocean front unit.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 8, 2012

We stayed in a two bedroom, two bath unit with a full kitchen. TV's in both the bedrooms and the living room. The unit had a washer dryer which was great. The balcony looked out over the ocean, beautiful. You could lay in bed and see the ocean. Everything was very clean, grounds well kept. There two sides to the resort, bay side and ocean side, each side has a pool and hot tub, there is a very quiet street with little traffic to cross. Great resort, everyone is very friendly and helpful. There are two pontoon boats at the resort that you can rent for $75 for three hours which was fun. There is a fishing dock on the bay side. Very happy with our trip, highly recomend.

“Always come back”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 23, 2012

We LOVE this place. We have been coming here every year for 10 years. It's so laid back, and non-pretentious. It's a little slice of heaven. The only way it's lacking is the lack of a spa and/or exercise room.

“Wow! What a Gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 30, 2012

I have never, ever stayed at a Resort where I have been treated as good as George and the staff here at Vanderbilt treated us. Great Service. GREAT room ( what a view ) Clean and nicely appointed. GREAT value, and let us not forget the " Food and " Drink" Barry, and Jane were so incredible as well as out servers. As a Chef I am pretty picky about the food at Resort's, not here, the food was 5 star and the cocktails were delicious. The sunsets and the company at the ' Vanderbilt made this Vacation a memorable one. George is really awesome and I am returning next year. If you need anything just ask George, he will amaze you too.
