Book this Hotel! The views and various accommodations to view the sunsets and beautiful scenery the ocean offers were amazing. Throughout the hotel there are fire pits, chairs, and relaxing swings. And the best part is the private beach cove! We loved this Hotel!

This hotel has an amazing view of the bay. We saw all kinds of birds and wildlife on the water, and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset. The private beach is nice to walk on and there are lots of places to sit and enjoy the view. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. It was our second time here and is quickly becoming a favorite destination.

Great ocean view; the sight of seagulls gliding through the air 50 feet from the balcony is so soothing. A short trail is just steps awa from the room, very convenient for a morning stroll.

Mission accomplished!! My husband and I had a wonderful, relaxing time. The views were spectacular, the continental breakfast was just enough for to get our day started, the pool was perfect and the staff were all super helpful.
