It was a pleasant stay for a very basic hotel. My only issue is our room was not like it is shown in the photo. The walls are painted very dark and the bedding is also dark which meant the whole feel of the room was gloomy. I am one that loves light so I found this difficult after expecting a light and airy room as in the photos. My communication rating is low because I emailed the hotel a couple of weeks before we travelled as I was concerned that our booking wasn’t confirmed as we had not paid yet the paperwork said pay,ent due in December when we booked. After we checked in, payment was not mentioned and my card was charged automatically. Had they mentioned that this would happen I would have asked to pay cash. I expected to pay when we checked out.

Booked get-a-way Sunday with a very low rate. Messaged host to verify stay. Monday received several messages confirming stay and processing payment. Tuesday, after driving over half way there (10 hours) we go to supper at around 6:30pm and receive cancellation notice from the host. No phone call, no other communication except telling us we were cancelled at our request. I immediately call the property and the person was rude and just basically said not my problem, VRBO said we could cancel you. There was no other booking anywhere close. We were scheduled for check-in on Wednesday at 4pm. Very poor host. If they would have cancelled it Sunday or Monday, then no big deal. But after all the emails and no other communication, bad form. Think twice before you book in with crappy hosts.

Ivey House has character and charm; our room was neat, clean, and comfortable and everything worked well. We really appreciated how friendly and helpful all the staff were, from the front desk to housekeeping—we only needed a room for one night, but I would have been happy to stay longer!

We stayed at this hotel which was a VERY convenient walking distance to many of the things we wanted to do- including meeting up at a boat-captain's dock for a fishing trip, reserving an air-boat tour through the mangroves, and enjoying some local fare at fun outdoor cafes. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, and we would recommend the Ivey House to others!
