Beautiful location right on the beach. I would like to go back in August to enjoy the water. It looks like you could go out 100 yards and only be waist deep. Plenty of seating and the area was cleaned and groomed daily.

The room was clean and the beds were comfy. Plenty of pillows and towels. We were right on the beach, ground level so the view was wonderful and being able to walk right out to the water was awesome.
