Awesome location, very quiet and we were totally spoiled, especially since we were there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The staff were amazing, the view and sound of waves from balcony peaceful, and the bed was so comfortable! Plus a full breakfast made to order each morning was most appreciated! Thankyou, and we hope to see you again someday!

Felt like at home with a special touch. Close to the water we were able to see beautiful sunsets from our bedroom. Breakfast was included and it was definitely worth it. Wonderful variety of healthy food for breakfast. And you also can find in the lobby soft drinks, water bottles. a nice selection of tea and snacks included ice creams for a small fee. The owner has a great sense of hospitality. She is wonderful We stayed an extra night and will definitely come back😊
