Everything was pristine, even the freshly washed parking lot. The hot tub/pool area was perfectly clean and comfortable. And we really enjoyed meeting and chatting with our host Jack. He recommended a great dinner restaurant.

Extremely clean bedroom but a slight “ musty” smell in the bathroom. Must be damp under floor tiles or behind shower surround as no visible evidence of water leaking. Nice continental breakfast with very friendly staff

Updated rooms were very clean and spacious. The surrounding grounds were great for relaxing with a book or visiting with friends to share cocktails with ocean views. Nice continental breakfast included. Warning though, staying on the lower level, is not recommended, depending on who is staying above you. Not much sound barrier between floors. Otherwise we had a great stay.
