The stay was amazing, we did the ocean view room. Nothing compares to the sunrise and sunset in the beach. Access to the beach over short dunes via bridges or 2 sand paths. The small dunes help with wildlife protection and we had a wide section of beach and other side of hotel has Bay across the street. Hotel room was large, and well decorated. Staff were friendly and helpful, Scott took our bags up, and we had Toby as a waiter for dinner, front desk staff were gracious too. Only changes I would like to see, small in room brooms for sand ( don’t want full room clean daily) and check mold in shower from INSIDE shower as area near shower door with lots of mold. Also wanted to check out gift shop but closed pretty early. Will be back again!

Beach view was wonderful! Staff was very helpful and friendly. AC was ok, a little difficult to understand, slow to respond, but ok. Location was great. Restaurant was good but could add a few items. Fish was not local, probably frozen and sometimes a little fishy flavor. Could sit on balcony and listen to and watch the waves forever!
