Absolutely wonderful experience. We are traveling with our small dog Buttons. The staff all made her feel so welcomed. We were able to eat in the bar area with her and she had her own menu to choose from. The property and grounds are well maintained. The view is stunning. Would absolutely recommend! Hope to stay again

Could not be better

Our family stayed at Inn By The Sea for a weekend in January. The property is stunning, and the suite was tremendous. We appreciated all of the little details that invited us to share great experiences together as a family, from the board games on the shelf, to the fire-pit and s'mores in the courtyard, to the walking trails along the beach, everything about the stay was simply wonderful.

Wonderful from start to finish! Excellent service and accommodations. Beautiful and well kept. On site restaurant with excellent food. The only way I could think to improve is to increase the pool temperature in the off season and add a jacuzzi.
