Book this Hotel! The views and various accommodations to view the sunsets and beautiful scenery the ocean offers were amazing. Throughout the hotel there are fire pits, chairs, and relaxing swings. And the best part is the private beach cove! We loved this Hotel!

This hotel has an amazing view of the bay. We saw all kinds of birds and wildlife on the water, and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset. The private beach is nice to walk on and there are lots of places to sit and enjoy the view. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. It was our second time here and is quickly becoming a favorite destination.
