Everything about this place was fun. It was clean. The staff were great and I highly recommend it. My mother-in-law might even want to book a whole family reunion there.
These two pictures are from the grounds from your hotel room. You can walk down and they have a little sitting area areas. It’s just a really cool place.

They’ve done a nice job remodeling this place so it’s super cute. However, if you have a room with a guest above you, you can hear everything… I would stay her again but probably opt for a stand alone cottage. Nice view. Access to beach is pretty close but not on the property. Brew and blast next door was nice to grab a burger and beer.
