We enjoyed a quiet and leisurely few days at this hotel. The view of the ocean was amazing. What a special treat to be able to walk right out the doors and onto the beach!! Parking - which is FREE - was ample and saved us the hassel of trying to find space on the street. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance. We will definitely return again next time we are out to the coast.
