Our room had it's own private deck. Step off the deck and you were in sand. View was gorgeous. Lots of sitting areas on the beach and around the pool. Donna at front desk was great!

Excellent hidden gem
This was an unexpected gem of a place! It’s hard to know what you’ll get with some of the smaller resorts but based on the reviews we decided to give this one a go the view from the room is 100%. Beautiful view, private deck with Adirondack chairs, a hammock, close to the pool that was open 24 hours. The colors of the buildings and cool architectural details added to the mid century charm. The room was big, clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the location was great. Would definitely stay here again!
