Great location, private ocean cove was awesome. Walk path to the village was convenient and allowed direct access to the beach. Unfortunately, the bed was very uncomfortable and we woke up stiff and sore. Still a great place - just needs better mattresses.

My annual stay at the 'Inn at the Cove' is the highlight of my many destinations in which I visit per year. The Ocean view is breathtaking and the Cliff-side landscape where the ocean meets land makes you feel like you're on the edge of tranquility. Absolutely Beautiful! Mel Bishop
