We had a partial ocean view from the room and patio which was fantastic. The room comes with beach towels and a warm throw for sitting on the patio. The staff was always helpful and cheerful. We ate at the restaurant once before this stay and both times it was excellent. The only thing is I purchased a 40.00-50.00 bottle of wine in the gift shop and was charged 80.00. The price was not marked on the bottle nor was there signage. I realized the price when I received my bill. I was told afterwards that the restaurant is in charge of the gift shop. So the price reflects what the restaurant would charge for the bottle. Now I know to be more diligent about asking the price ahead of time or bring a bottle from the local store. Having said that, we have family that lives in the area and will definitely be staying here again.

Decent stay however rooms are not soundproof and we could hear the people upstairs walking around and the flushing of their toilet. There is also no way to manage the temperature of the room. There was a fireplace with a manual switch which meant waking up in the middle of the night to turn it on and off if we woke up freezing or too hot. Wouldn’t recommend staying in the colder months for this reason. Staff were nice and views were great.

Great location, right on the beach. The restaurant Salt Wood Kitchen doesn’t serve breakfast is less convenient, a downside. But at least it provides room service. Foods were delicious.

The property was amazing. You can literally walk to the beach front. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was a bit cold when we got it but overall the views, the amenities and everything was amazing.
