9/10 Wonderful! (58 reviews)

Lovely updated boutique beachfront hotel. We enjoyed the nice amenities, fluffy towels and well done room decor. It’s off season so the staff was not as available but we had a great time. Can’t wait to use the new pool too. Thanks again. We look forward to returning.

The room was spotless! The staff was very helpful and welcoming. They provided us with beach chairs and towels during our stay. The Romantic room had warm touches— the tub was my favorite. We enjoyed our stay!
