Great & friendly staff! Beautiful views and property even with construction happening…. However, room rates should be discounted during renovation on site. The property is beautiful and it’s a prime location for ocean views! Great staff and knowledgeable about area.

Very courteous and attentive staff. Enjoyed riding the bikes that were available as well as playing pickle ball on-site. The grounds are beautiful - however - be aware that there are major renovations going on, so your “ocean view” may include looking over the construction zone. Ours was - but we requested a room change, and the front desk staff graciously accommodated our request. Overall, a great stay in a great coastal community.
The view - after our room change ;-)

Lu was absolutely wonderful at check-in; she went out of her way to ensure I could get in a room several hours before the standard check-in time so that I could get settled and go enjoy a festival near the property. I just appreciated it so much and want to give her a shout-out!
