If you are looking for high class this is not for you, but if you like old style beach front accommodations and friendly managers Jack and Sharon) at reasonable prices this could be your answer. Pets are accepted and there are many additional amenities such as beach chairs, small tables, umbrellas, boogie boards etc. Just a few steps from the gulf water. My rating reflects the fact that the place is old and not as clean as a Hampton Inn, but very well run and serviceable especially for those of us who like to take our pets in occasion. We were in unit 2 and are thoroughly enjoying our 3 day stay. Enjoy the picture taken on an overcast day from our porch.

This is what I call "old Florida" - homey little rooms in a large house (actually 2 houses side by side). Each one has it's own exterior door. We've stayed here twice and gotten room #11. You are literally right on the beach! You can sit in your room (when it's too hot) and watch the ocean waves. When you step down the stairs, your next step is on the sand. Very few places offer this kind of view and proximity for this price.

For those who are picky, this is probably not your kind of place. It says "resort", but honestly it's a little dated and you follow the "beach cottage rules" which means: clean up after yourself in the kitchen, gather all the sheets & towels and put them by the door before you leave. I grew up going to beach cottages in Florida and this was pretty standard, but for those used to staying in 5 star resorts, this can come as a shock. No housekeeping each day - you are on your own. But I prefer it that way personally so that suits me fine.

They are dog friendly. Lots of people walk their dogs on this part of the beach. Jack & Sharon are helpful when you need something. We had a burned out bulb and Jack brought us one in minutes. No nonsense, good managers they are.

We love our visits to this place and already plan to return!

We arrived without a reservation and were happy to find the Wild Wave. It couldn't have worked out any better. The perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach. We asked Jack where we could find a used book store and he showed us to his selection of books - didn't need anything else to make our trip complete. Close to a Publix grocery store and a delightful ten minute stroll down the beach to a great restaurant and bar. Funky, small resort without any frills - just what we were looking for. We hope to return in December.
