Absolutely great experience at the Wayfarer. The beach front view was worth the extra cost. We loved watching the sunset and stunning beach views. Very easy access to the beach and right on the ocean front walkway which makes walking to shops and restaurants very easy. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful and kind! Probably the nicest hotel staff I’ve ever experienced. Some things to note: parking in their lot is $40 a day, but good luck finding parking elsewhere. They do have beach rentals such as chairs and umbrellas that are $15 for the day rental which was very convenient. I would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area.
