We enjoyed the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine while watching the sun set over the ocean from the lobby lounge area. Local dining featured excellent seafood and interesting desserts. The continental breakfast served in the lobby included great lemon and pumpkin breads. The weather was perfect for us, since it was cool and we were looking for relief from the heat.

Overall would recommend and would return. Pro’s: Staff, bed, cute decor, thoughtful snack bar purchase options, location to beach, boardwalk and restaurants, light breakfast was fresh and delicious, very busy but quiet and peaceful property, sun deck overlooking ocean fun, big shower! Request a refrigerator if needed (not standard in the room). Slight Con’s: King room a bit small for 2 with luggage and supplies for a several day stay, we had power issues charging all the electric devices, floor sticky, parking lot small for large vehicles, and the big shower is not enclosed and splashes water on floor.

There are so many cute perks and personal feel to this place. The owner and staffs make the experience memorable from the kombucha at check-in (or sparkling wine if VIP), delicious pastries at breakfast, or saltwater taffies at check-out. Cozy, coastal-design rooms and shared areas. Right across from the moonstone beach and the boardwalk.

Very pleasant stay, needs a couple of upgrades to

The stay was great. The combinations are a little outdated. There’s no coffee maker in the rooms. There’s no microwave and there is no refrigerator. We have to walk across to the office to get our morning coffee and then walk back to the room and then around and around and around and my husband is ADA so that was kind of a bother but it’s a lovely hotel and it’s right across from the water. you couldn’t ask for a better location
