2/10 Poor

Didn’t get in to room until 4:25. Garbage still on patio. Walls are very thin. I don’t remember a $700. suite that has these issues. I wish it were different-it’s beautiful.
Pierre, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Family friendly

Family oriented hotel. Catered to families with kids. Great views and friendly staff. Everything was clean. I suggest staying on an upper floor as you will hear every footstep from the exterior to the inside of the rooms.
Francis, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The views are obviously incredible, but the staff was all extremely welcoming and over the top attentive to any need that came up. Their accommodations for dogs is next level, I love properties that care as much as they do. 10/10 will stay here again!

This is my new favorite hotel! I loved all the small and big details. Everyone was friendly and all the offerings and design of the place make it feel like you are far away from home. It was a nice staycation for me and I look forward to returning soon!

Amy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Second stay and even better than the first. Lovely staff and rooms. Great location on the dunes, right off Hwy 1. My only complaint is parking for hotel guests. There is public parking with beach access that takes away from guests, which also opens up to non-guests using the fire pits.
Jennifer, 4-night trip

Robert and his team are professionals and have the way to make you feel welcome.
