Staff was great!! The Oceanside room was amazing and very comfortable well put together. The first room we had was not as great, Room 24, it has no natural light, no couch in the livingroom, no tv in the bedroom and unfortunately we were there on a record cold days, so weren’t really able to be outside and enjoy the property and thus the 4 star. The back of the property with the ocean was amazing. I was able to fish off the back when the tide was in. The breakfast was delicious and the people working were the nicest people. I’d stay again especially on a budget.
