It is older but has character. The grounds are beautiful with plertiful flowers and lush green trees and bushes. The bay view is phenomenal. We had a suite upstairs which was an inconvenience but staff more than made up for it. There was an eagle pair nesting there and fishing in the ocean with the pelicans. It is quiet and peacefull and beautiful.

The office manager was so sweet! She walked me over to my room while talking about the grounds and pointing out the nearby trail and multiple seating areas overlooking the ocean. To top off the experience, her adorable 4-year old pup led the way! This was the most welcome, charming check-in I’ve ever had. Thank you!!!

We had an unobstructed view of the ocean and the service was excellent. The continental breakfast was delicious and timely! Our room was beautifully decorated. The property is in need of repair, but the staff lovingly took care of any needs we had due to a couple of facility issues.
