It was a super nice room, very clean and great views! I wanted to get away but didn’t want to do much other than relax so it was nice to be right by the ocean and having a pathway to walk. There’s also lots of comfy chairs with great views. I usually always pick a cheap hotel but this was worth it for what you get, i believe I paid $180 for one night. Also, there are some stairs that lead down to the ocean and it’s very private not many people if any that were down there. I do wish check in time was earlier but that’s usually how hotels are. The breakfast was good too! I will definitely stay again.

The hotel property is beautiful. Ocean front rooms with a great view. The room itself was so nice. Checking in was easy. My only complaint is the beds are so hard. They look fluffy but are not. Still, it didn’t ruin our trip. Everything else, is great

It was so comfortable and great to be so close to nature without all of the distraction of commercial activity. Perched perfectly above the ocean in a pristine landscape with great rocking chairs and warm fir pits!!

The views from the bottom or top floor of the Ocean make this property spectacular. They also have a private beach in a cove to explore. Rooms are dated by the property location and setting make up for that in abundance. Book without hesitation.
