I loved Diamondhead Resort when I stayed here. I came to Diamondhead in March with my college to…read morehelp volunteer for our spring break, and I fell in love with the resort. We stayed in both log cabins and had the kitchen (which we did pay for so no special favors there), with our leader staying in a motel room nearby. We all had a wonderful time staying here and I think about that trip all the time. Yes we had some mayflies that came in when we let the doors open too long, or some small spiders, but it was generally a clean cabin despite being right in the woods. As someone who is terrified of bugs, and isn't someone who would claim to love or even like camping, I genuinely felt great staying here! Waking up to the gorgeous sunrises of Oklahoma on the deck was my favorite part of the day at Diamondhead. The group would attest as well that the lake we were at was so wonderful, and we all had a lovely time skipping rocks and looking at nature and the waves of the water. There are plenty of places to make campfires, gather wood, run around, explore, you name it. It was genuinely incredible to stay here and I am so thankful every day I got to come here. One day I'll come back! In short, if you are looking for a place to stay to explore the wilderness and have a traditional camping experience, I would come here. Everyone who has run this resort has been kind and absolutely wonderful. I

I…read moreread about this event in the Tulsa World and since we were running over to Grand that same day and Pine Lodge is literally a mile away from our destination, we decided to check it out. We went right at dusk, but I think if it had been truly dark, we could have seen the resort from miles away. ALL. THE. LIGHTS. (And, other decorations.) We were surprised by the amount of holiday cheer that was put up. Lots of inflatables (some quite unique). If you're in the area, I would certainly check it out. There's a donation box at the end if you're impressed.

The lady on the phone talked to me while I was meandering around the area in my truck on a dark road. Thank goodness!! She was so accommodating! For example: the number of nights I wanted to stay. Minimum is two nights. I was allowed to stay one. After I was assigned to one cabin, she allowed me to stay in a different cabin. Pulling up to park at my assigned cabin my headlights showed 3 deer!! Another times, I saw them from the balcony, several more deer. In fact, they seemed within an arm's reach. The balcony was clean with a covered table, hot tub and a means to charcoal meats. The grill utensils hung along the guard rails. Once inside, it appeared very clean. Every possible amenity was available (except robes or q-tips). Fireplace, cut wood, lighter, microwave, fold out couch, mini fridge, window unit, coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes, table and 2 chairs, tv, wifi, ceiling fan, towels (request extra if using the hot tub), shampoo, conditioner and body soap. Of course, a large cozy bed! The hot tub is small. My best guess would be that they can accommodate 4 small bodies max. Great jets and very hot water! The showers are so clean and sparkly! The shampoo, conditioner and body soap hang on the wall. All have a very mild scent. It was a perfect get away for me.

We are budget-minded and from the Pettit Bay Cabins & Grocery website, lack of negative (or really ANY) reviews, and the pleasantness of the owner when we called we booked a 2 bed room and were thrilled with the supposed convenience, friendliness, savings, and everything! that was - until we got there. Upon arrival we went to the grocery store to check in as advised, paid and got our keys. The woman who checked us in was nice if somewhat vacant but she directed us to our cabin and off we went. We were not expecting the Ritz - not even a Motel 6 but what greeted us was a grimy hybrid of Deliverance meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The screened in porch was filthy - as was the room. The beds sagged in the middle and were obviously old - covered in musty mismatched spreads. The windows were grimy - the kitchenette was dusty, rusty, and had spiderwebs, the air-conditioning worked well but the mildew smell caused my friend to have an immediate asthma attack. We couldn't get back in our car fast enough. When we returned our keys an apology and a full refund was promptly given however we were 3+ hours from home with no where to stay. Luckily the Fin & Feather Resort had had a last minute cancellation and that's where we wound up. Pettit Bay might be right up your alley if seriously roughing it is your cup of tea - but in my opinion it's several steps below sleeping in a tent w/ no running water close by. AVOID!

We went to brunch a couple of weeks ago…read more No waffle station anymore No prime rib station anymore No vegetables on the Sunday when we went. No deviled eggs anymore. No omelette made to order anymore. Just scrambled eggs. The feature was leftovers from the special from the week before..... My husband asked for no salt on the bloody Mary. They must've forgot and just poured bloody Mary from one glass into the other. It tasted like a salty mess. They are charging $32 per person for the Sunday buffet. Definitely not worth that price. We won't be returning until new ownership or better brunch options.

We like to relax in the hot tub and jacuzzi, spend a romantic night in, cook dinner, and whatever else we want. We visited both Wal Mart and Harp's where we stocked our refrigerator with goodies for the week. The staff brought us champagne and chocolate. I love to walk the grounds. It's right on Grand lake and in the morning, the view is amazing!!! There is also a seasonal pool and an outdoor play area. Gear to use at the lake can also be rented. We love Candlewyck Cove and consider it our home awY from home. We will be back. We just came back from another stay at Candlewyck Cove Resort and it was just as amazing as the first time! We stayed in cabin 3 where we had a king size bed, fireplace, full kitchen, jacuzzi, and hot tub. We had stayed in this cabin two years previously and were very excited to stay there again. My husband and I stocked the refrigerator with supplies from a nearby grocery store and we settled in for a nice weekend. We played basketball on the playground, grilled steaks on our grill, and got to meet some great neighbors. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, baking sheets, dishes, and utensils. They offered everything we would need. There were plenty of towels and toiletries in the bathroom and two sinks. It was a large area with a separate area for the toilet. We loved having a real working fireplace and the cabin was cozy and romantic. We plan to come back again next year.

I'm a small business owner and I NEED WIFI AND/OR PHONE SERVICE wherever I go, this is how I make a living. This place had neither. Advertisement said rooms had hot tubs but neither room had USABLE hot tubs. One hot tub was empty and came with a frog. The second hot tub had water dripping from the top deck and lukewarm water. The room carpet was old and smelled horrible. Upon check out, I was asked to strip the beds, gather up all trash and towels, and wash the dishes. Is this a hotel or an Airbnb?
