"Our stay was wonderful! We had a king-sized bed with a patio. The staff was polite and helpful. The only tiny problem was I looking forward to a dip in the hot tub, which was under construction and I wasn’t made aware until we arrived. The dining options were delicious if you don’t feel like venturing out. You can’t complain when the beach is just across the grounds. It was a peaceful vacay!"

It is quiet at night and close to the Amtrak Station and bus routes. I was sorry to find the bikes had been replaced with high-handlebar cycles that proved difficult for me. Other than that, all went smoothly and I would be happy to stay here again."
