Rooms - perfect! Closeness to parking - wonderful. Staff welcoming and informative. Just wish we had done a bit more digging on getting a room with at least an ocean view. I am handicapped so couldn't do stairs, stairs, stairs to get to the beach. But we had a wonderful time.

Really great experience! Easy check in, friendly, grabbed a cookie and some chips, got our room code (no annoying keys to manage!) then immediately checked out the GORGEOUS beach, directly off our semi-private deck. Perfect place to unwind. Amazing shower, fireplace, the breakfast—WOW—delivered to our door in a basket and carafe! Delicious and fresh. We’ll be back.

Just what we needed for a weekend wedding stay. Breakfast delivered to our cottage - coffee was delicious, bkfst quality was not good. Maybe a simple (yummy) muffin or bagel would be better. WONDERFUL spot right on the beach!
