Had a great time for our 40th Anniversary stay there - room was nice and clean -of course mostly all is being rebuilt. Would definitely come again - only thing we had to go to Costco and get an umbrella ☂️ the lounge chairs were great just needed some protection from the sun ☀️ ( they did have some for sale at the hotel) all in all beautiful beach and outside area with hammocks -the no see ums were really bad so bring protection!!

Great hotel. Pretty clean and modern rooms. Right next to the beach with a nice pool and restaurant right on site. They provide beach chairs for guests to use. My only negative would be that they dont have beach umbrellas or some time of sun cover for guests to use.

A perfect boutique hotel right on the beach! Our room was super nice and recently updated. It was spacious for a typical hotel room. The property and pool/outside areas were well kept and staff was great. Nice lounge chairs were put out on the beach daily for guests and towels were plentiful. Poolside there was a bar where you could get all kinds of drinks (albeit a bit pricy!) or food. Our first afternoon we had a couple hours of rain, but joined other guests at the poolside covered bar and before you knew it, everyone was talking, laughing and introducing themselves. Made for a fun couple of days as we’d run into each other at the beach or pool. We would definitely return to this property!

The property and staff were great. Had all the accommodations that we needed. My goal was to sit on the beach or by the pool and relax. The Inn accomplished that. Was able to park my car and never leave. Great food and drinks. Beach was beautiful.

Wonderful hotel. Walked out of our room and practically on the beach. Pool area was very nice. Cleaning station for shells. Was not a resort, did not want a resort.
