The office manager/housekeeper/front desk lady (I can’t remember her name sorry)was so sweet and made sure I always saw the best sunset each night when I was there. The outside bar was an added surprise I didn’t think I would get to enjoy. Beautiful oceanfront room -exactly what I was hoping it would be!

The room and location was beautiful. Housekeeping and staff were friendly and attentive. Going in the off season definitely has its advantages and would love to stay here again. The only drawback was not having a microwave in the room. That would have made it a five star stay.

Staff was very accommodating. Unfortunately our first room’s ceiling started leaking during a bad storm. That room was updated. The second room that put us in was spacious, the bed was very comfy, the view from the window was beautiful, but the room needed updating.

Our room had perfect view of the ocean. The beach bar was actually open despite the chill in the air. The room we stayed in does need some maintenance. The base of one lamp was held together with (no lie)…..scotch tape. Had difficulty opening one of the blinds do to a missing rod. A hook on the bathroom door would be useful but the room was clean and had fresh towels each day.

Pleasant check in with very nice helpful staff. This appears to be an older building but the room was very up to date with a really nice spacious walk in shower. All rooms face the ocean which is less than 100 yards away. There is a bar on the beach, a place to sit and relax and watch the waves.
