Great vibe and convenient location! Hey hon, s’mores from 5 to 10 every night and happy hour and foosball, ping-pong, cornhole in the lobby. We rented out board games also what a great restaurant and bar vibe inside the hotel and literally less than a block to Main Street where everything is happening and across the street and you’re at the beach you just can’t beat this.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel and can’t recommend it enough. The service was outstanding from start to finish—every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The location is perfect, just steps from the beach and within easy walking distance to a variety of great restaurants and shops, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. One of our favorite perks was the complimentary amenities, including beach towels and Regal bikes, which made enjoying the surroundings even easier and more fun. Overall, this place checked every box for our family. Between the exceptional service, ideal location, and thoughtful extras, it’s safe to say we’ve already found our next family vacation destination.

Great location so close to the beach and All of the local eateries!! Clean rooms with a balcony. Nice retro type vibes at the Boutique Hotel. Record players and old time sounds are some of the artifacts! A dog lovers paradise! The 4 legged pets are treated just as well as the human guests!! lol! Although I’m not a dog “lover” I did admire the care and concern of the staff and guests that had their pets .
