229 Bay Ave. 5 Stars!
This place is the perfect pick for relaxation and a recharge! Everything you need is here,including a beautiful view of the beach and wildlife preserve. No light pollution to obstruct the full view of a star lit night( I saw falling stars for the first time in decades). Amazing sunrises and sunsets, beach walks, fishing and more! Even if it rains it's just an amazing view. Quiet and pet friendly. We very much enjoyed our stay here!
