It’s right on the beach. Close to eating establishments. An ocean view can be 90 degree view from your window. Meaning in front and either one side or the other. You can walk out further and see the whole ocean.

Loved everything about this property. The outdoor sauna was such a nice touch to my stay. They also give you marshmallows to enjoy on their outdoor patio and I should add it’s facing the ocean which makes a beautiful sunset view. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

The staff was very helpful and upgraded us to an oceanfront room when it became available.
The pool was nice and clean and the staff offered s’mores for a sweet treat on the beach one evening. The bar was nice as well.

This hotel was amazing. The amenities were perfect, the view was gorgeous. And the atmosphere was very calm. We sat in the lobby area in the evening, had breakfast in the restaraunt. Everything about this hotel was wonderful. We will be returning.
