I love that it is close to many things in the area. It’s a decent walk to the beach through the dunes. We’ve stayed there many years and different times throughout the year. Our favorite time is for New Year’s. In years past some of the staff that worked there haven’t always been the friendliest. This year the staff we dealt with were attentive and friendly during our stay. There are other options in the same area that offer the same amenities and are less expensive but we go there because it’s a family tradition.

Everything was great. Front desk clerk was very friendly at check in. I like that they have 24 desk service....although we didn't need anything... it was nice to know that someone was there IF we did need something. The only thing that i wasn't crazy about was the fragrance of the room. It was a bit strong. I mean...it was a nice fragrance...just a little strong. It took a bit to get used to. Other than that...everything was great. I would stay there again. :-)

Wonderful stay! Highly recommend!
Our room had a kitchenette that was supplied with plates, a toaster, silverware, cooking pans and utensils. We brought our own coffee pot which was good. There was a tiny one in the room though. Our dog was supplied with his own towels and a blanket, snacks, and food and water dish. It is definitely dog friendly! The people that checked us in and out were friendly and efficient. We were so comfortable! Had such a nice three day stay for our 30th anniversary! There was a really strong deodorizer used in the hallways that was a bit much. It did not permeate into our room though.
