Can’t beat the location. Off street parking. Next to a small store for your morning coffee. The tv coverage leaves much to be desired ☹️.

Beautiful room and the best view and sounds of the ocean. Great restaurant underneath. I’m an early riser but it is really noisy starting first thing on the morning. Traffic and deliveries. If you like privacy in your deck ask for the 3rd floor.

If you were booking in the main house, I would recommend staying on the top floor. The second floor gets noise from the restaurant below as well as footsteps from the rooms above you. When we were there, I swear someone was tap dancing on the third floor at 4 AM.

Pros: Room was very clean and updated. The view was great and the people watching from the balcony was a lot of fun. Check in is automated via an outdoor kiosk so we barely spoke with staff. Cons: Room was very small (the picture felt a bit deceptive) and the bathroom was even smaller. There was no closet in the room either which made the room feel even more compact.
