A great stay right on the beach. The suite was spacious with a wall of windows facing the water. We visited in the off season but it was great to be woke up by seals and surf. Definitely worth a visit. There are restaurants and pubs within walking distance

Cute & cozy!
Very clean & welcoming room. View of the ocean. Lovely outdoor courtyard & BBQ area with beach access that we can only assume is gorgeous in the warmer months (our stay was for visiting family at Christmas).

The room was larger than expected, the kitchenette was extremely useful and it beautiful and quiet. Only problem was the TV. The remote did not work. But we didn't go there for the TV.
