My husband and I spent 5 nights at Reel Em Inn about a week ago, and were very pleased with our experience. We love fishing and had a great time fishing off the pier at any time during the day. We caught several kinds of trout, lady fish, young red drums, and bait fish. Fishing at night was great in that we got to see the fish and eco system with the lights on the pier, which is just so relaxing to see. The room was very basic which is perfect when you are out most of the day. The refrigerator was very clean, and the kitchen sink nice and big. We brought our own pans to use, but they did have some in the room that were available. The bed was very comfortable. We did have to clean a few things when we got there, but honestly I feel like that is expected to a degree when you go anywhere. We were glad we took our pillows and towels as suggested in other reviews. We got to stay in the cabin right infront of the bay which was so beautiful and relaxing. The location is great, and it is such a quiet area. We only encountered one minor inconvenience once which included the city doing some work on the gas line on the road next to us. The only real reason this was a problem was that we were without hot water for about a day, but when we contacted the owner about the water he had it corrected within the hour. He responded to us on a Saturday morning within 10minutes, and was so kind and concerned to help straight away. We also enjoyed getting to meet the fellow travelers, who were also very kind and happy to be there. This was our first stay here, and will definitely not be our last. We look forward to returning, and like others cannot wait for the rest of the pier to be finished. Thank you again to the owner for everything! We are beyond appreciative, and please know you have a...
Read moreLet me start by saying we stayed here last year and found everything great, that is why we booked it again. Now to this year, first of all the floor was slippery and greasy, then the mattress was all stained and had a hole in it. Looks like it was drug out of a dumpster or should have been put in a dumpster. Probably the cheapest mattress I have ever attempted to sleep on. The bedspread was also stained. We went to Wal-Mart and bought sheets to put over their sheets because were afraid they also were not clean. The AC never did work properly, we put it down to 60 at night and still only slept with a sheet on and luckily had brought our own fan. The bathroom vent is so stinking loud, it can not be used. I bought some Clorox wipes and wiped down the table, the cloth was brown, YUCK! The towels had some kind of green stain, or something on them, and one of the wash cloths was full of mildew or something black. I called Miss Kitty's Office and they offered to send out maintenance, which would have helped the vent and the AC, but not the lack of cleanliness, and horrible, horrible bed. I feel as if I was robbed, having the pay $105/night for this dive. The only saving grace was the patio and the pier. We will never, never, be back. By the way this is the first revue I have ever written about lodging, I am a country girl and can take a lot, but to have to stay in someone else's filth is...
