My husband and I liked our room very spacious and the high ceilings made it feel more spacious. Wonderful location across from ocean . My husband and I liked walking on boardwalk with wonderful views of ocean. And the sunsets Were so beautiful. There our some resturante walking distance from this location. But to drive in town which had numerous resturantes and cute shops was a very short drive. My husband and I enjoyed our stay here.
