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.

Book this Hotel! The views and various accommodations to view the sunsets and beautiful scenery the ocean offers were amazing. Throughout the hotel there are fire pits, chairs, and relaxing swings. And the best part is the private beach cove! We loved this Hotel!
