The hotel had great amenities, the staff was welcoming and friendly and our rooms were clean and comfortable. We liked the location and really enjoyed walking along the boardwalk and then having time in the pool and hot tub. We had a lovely meal at the restaurant as well. I'd definitely stay here again!

Nice property right on the water with an amazing view. Kitchenette was small but had everything you need. Couch was large and comfortable. Bed was also comfortable but a bit small for our taste. Could have used extra blankets. Highly recommend.
