The Staff were very professional, helpful, and courteous. The grounds were beautiful and well-kept. Parking was easy and available. The room was a loft and very classy. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was all-inclusive including a hot tub that was quite relaxing, a vanity, and a shower area which were huge in scope. The dining was superb and the waiter was very professional. I would reserve a room at the Inn By The Sea again without hesitation.

We checked in and checked our after an hour, the lobby and room smelled very strong like dogs and the pool was said to be for dogs only that evening. Nothing seemed as pictured when i booked. We could not stay there from the strong dog smell.
