Peaceful place on the beach.

Beautiful location. Close to restuarants and places to see. It was quiet and beds were good. The place was clean, but could use a refresh. Great place to stay for beach walks and if you are lucky you will see some bald eagles.

Loved our stay

Wonderful location with fabulous views of the ocean and a great little trail down to the beach. Room was very clean and well equipped. Only complaint is that the pillows are a little hard and flat. Other than that this place is absolutely wonderful!
