I had originally booked a room with a beach view. However, when I checked in I found that the room had somehow been changed to a standard room without the beach view. Not sure how this happened but was very disappointed since the beach view was the primary reason for staying here. Otherwise, a very nice hotel with friendly staff.

I LOVED my stay. I took my daughter for a quick over night stay, and was blown away. We were steps away from the ocean, we got to swim, read on the beach, search for shells during the day. We had a snack at the Little Pub that afternoon and it was delicious. I love how the outside bar is facing the water, you really feel like you’re on vacation. At night we went next door for seafood, and it was wonderful (Reilys). That evening we took a bike ride (bikes provided) and went for homemade ice cream at the local market, then went sight seeing up the sea wall. The next morning we walked across the street and had the most amazing coffee from the coffee cart while swinging and looking at the ocean. I left so relaxed and really enjoyed the room. I look forward to returning and making this a tradition.
