My friends and I stayed here during a weekend escape to the beach. Our room was spacious, clean and very comfortable for the 3 of us. The property was beautiful and quiet at night. All of the staff we met were friendly and gave us wonderful recommendations for food and beaches. We also really liked their breakfast- lots of variety. We loved it!
