Quaint little beach hotel
This hotel is on a secluded beach in a little beach town. The staff is accommodating and quite welcoming. Make sure to order your meals 12 hours in advance. This is a really nice place to stay.

Great little comfortable place on the beach
The staff can’t be nicer or more helpful. The beach is beautiful. Juliet, the owner is super accommodating and helped with every aspect from cabs to tours and things we needed on the property. She was very good at explaining details about things you may not know about so you’re prepared.
