Room and bed was so comfortable. Room had AC but didn’t need it as good air flow with windows open. So so quiet. Only food option is onsite restaurant, which was “ok”.

It is a beautiful property. The room was really nice except the mattress was too soft and needs to be replaced. I knew that if I slept in the bed my back would be in bad shape the next day. I slept on the trundle bed which was really hard but a better option.

Hidden Gem on the Ocean with an Amazing Restaurant

Beautiful spot that is a must see! The lodge is wonderfully decorated, the staff are welcoming and the rooms have everything you need. The restaurant has wrap around windows so everyone has a view of the ocean and the food is 5 star! We will definitely stay here again next time we are near!

The overall stay and facilities are great...however, the bathroom has zero places for one's toiletries, other than using the floor of the bathroom...not what one would expect from a 4 star facility.
