We stayed for 2 nights in one of the patio/ocean view rooms on the end of the property. It was so pretty. Sat outside a few times to enjoy the view. The room also had a fire place. We also ordered delivery to our room from the Cow Tipper. That set up was perfect. There is a QR code specific to the room. Ordered breakfast and it was delivered within ~15 min.

Brandon was very helpful & accommodating with all my questions prior to our stay. His winery & dining recommendations were on point. We had a great stay overall and will definitely be back. The “continental breakfast” was; making your own instant oatmeal, premade coffee, a loaf of pre-sliced lemon or coffee cake, granola bars and apples to go. Seemed very limited and no where to sit, you had to take it back to your room. Not the worst but not the best. However now that we know, we can bring our own food options for our next stay.
