Located on the ocean with a long boardwalk. The bed was very comfortable. The room and bathroom were in excellent condition. The grounds looked beautiful but it was too cold for us to make use of the pool, hot tub and fire pit. Free breakfast too.

Fabulous find!

This was a gem of a find! The room was spotless, very tastefully decorated and modern, located directly across from stunning Moonstone Beach. Jack at the front desk was welcoming and informative, giving us some excellent recommendations for dining. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious and well thought out, with an abundance of hooks for jackets and towels (one of our pet peeves). The only bad thing about our stay was having to leave after only 1 night! I wish we could have stayed a week!

Mid-March Getaway

Everything was pristine, even the freshly washed parking lot. The hot tub/pool area was perfectly clean and comfortable. And we really enjoyed meeting and chatting with our host Jack. He recommended a great dinner restaurant.
