I think if the air conditioning hadn't broken down this weekend would have been perfect. That said, I enjoyed the combination of uninstrusive care, excellent food, location, and opulent suites. The bath, shower, bed, and porch were all magnificent, and we loved walking into town on the boardwalk. This is a wonderful place to relax, and the method of delivering... More

Wonderful location. Beautiful rooms with a great view. Great hosts! We really enjoyed the breakfast that we were able to enjoy at our own pace in the comfort of our room. A nice relaxing visit that we hope to repeat soon!

Our stay was fantastic. Jim and dee went out of their way to make our stay great. The rooms are very clean and the breakfast basket was delish. The view from the room was breathtaking. We can't say enough about this hotel.

We love this place and try to go every year. We have probably been there 10 times in the past and have never been disappointed. Great ocean view, walking distance to several restaurants, lovely private patio, very comfortable room. Great place for romance and relaxation and of course, enjoying the uncrowded, beautiful beach!

What can I say about this hotel that hasn't already been said, especially since 99% of the reviews rate the hotel as excellent. We live about 10 miles from the hotel and have been around it for many years. We finally had a chance to stay overnite. We stayed for New Years Eve.The hotel and grounds are beautiful, very well...
