Really enjoyed our stay. The staff and the property is absolutely beautiful! The rooms could use a few upgrades like better wi-fi, tv’s, in room guest amenities, but you cannot beat the views, proximity to the beach, and that they are dog friendly! All in all everything was delightful.
Lovely view of the grounds.
