It is so very unique to stay there and be a part of ehat they have created for everyone who is lucky enough to visit. We met folks who had been coming here for years, and we see why. The staff are so warm and friendly. The shoals restaurant was just delicious, and we had dinner and drinks looking out to the water.The location is breathtaking as it sits on the edge of the ocean, with the pool, grounds and restaurant all together. Our room had a huge window looking out to sea. So special! We plan to come back and visit every year to start a new tradition.

Absolutely stunning little bungalow just minutes from the beach. The bed was insanely comfortable! The renovations keep the original charm of this little Spanish abode, which my husband and I highly value. We absolutely hate when the interior of a vintage building is stripped of what makes it special, but that was not the case here--gorgeous tile floors, wood kitchen countertops, tasteful textiles throughout. We will 100% be back again. We stayed here for our elopement and it couldn't have been more perfect. Can't wait to book for our 1 year anniversary! Oh also, the complimentary beverages were above and beyond.
