Second time here and we will be back. Corner King room gave us front view of the ocean and the sunrise. A side balcony allowed us to watch the sunset. All areas of the hotel were kept very clean. Breakfast changed daily and the staff was always so friendly. Front desk were very helpful at checkin, with questions and checkout. Hotel provided beach/pool towels as well as sand chairs.

This is the third time my wife and I have stayed at this wonderful hotel, and it gets better every time. It is classy without being pretentious, with a perfect location, it also feels homegrown and sophisticated all at once. Needless to say I love this place, my wife loves this place, and we're going back 👍

Wonderful beach hotel. Super clean and well-maintained. Furniture in the room felt brand new (including a pull-out sofa that I don’t think had ever been used before). Great beach access and nice pool area. Our family including 3 very active little boys had a blast. Breakfast and happy hour were very nice and thoughtful touches for the guests. Feels like a boutique hotel but with resort quality features. 10/10 would recommend!
