Such a nice and inviting spot in the North Shore close to all our favorite spots and beaches. A small pool and spa are on property and we enjoyed both. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Check for seasonal closures of the restaurant which we experienced during the holiday weekend. It’s a lovely spot and we will definitely visit again.
