Best hotel we’ve ever stayed at. Room was across the street from the water and we could hear crashing waves all night. Sunsets were incredible. Boardwalk along beach was convenient and fun. Room service free breakfast was delicious and generous. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Bed was firm and comfy. Best nights sleep ever! We will book here again.

We were given a room on the third floor. And… there were no elevators! How is this property possibly ADA-compliant? My husband and I are able-bodied, but schlepping luggage up three flights of stairs was not fun. Also, men either on the grounds or in the RV ‘resort’ right nextdoor began shouting around midnight, and kept at it till around 3:00 AM. What’s best about the place is being on the beach. Great views, too.
