    The grounds are beautiful even in the midst of March. Room was quite cozy, comfortable bed, spacious bathroom with shower and of course the ocean view.

    What a wonderful place by the sea. Located surrounded by a nature preserve and the beach, you can't ask for a better spot. The accomodations are luxurious, and pet friendly. Lots of trails and walking spots.
