I loved having access to a private beach. The sunset views were amazing. We enjoyed the pool, fire pit, and playing Cornhole. There is pier and kayaks if interested in using. Also, having a great tasting free breakfast with an amazing view just added to the experience.

Relaxing getaway

Rooms were very clean and comfortable. The outside of the building could use a little sprucing up. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Sunsets were incredible from the beach area. We had a very relaxing stay.

This is an amazing hotel , and the staff was quite wonderful too. From the dining room to the reception desk both staff were friendly and very accommodating. The free breakfast was great , restaurant quality and conveniently from 4-8 they offer dinner at reasonable prices. Bottom line I would definitely stay again!
Sheryl, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay! The included breakfast was delicious with offerings of pancakes, French toast, sausage, bacon, home fries, cereals, yogurt, granola, scrambled eggs and fried eggs. The saltwater pool was a great way to cool off without going in the ocean. There is corn hole, a fire pit, kayaks and paddle boards…so much to do. We had a wonderful time and will be coming back!
Brenda, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Such a fabulous little get away. Too cold to try the pool or the kayaks/paddle boards provided but enjoyed the fire pit. Room was very comfortable and the breakfast was quite good. Would definitely stay here again! Only issue was our stay was too short!
