This place suits me perfectly with free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, and friendly 24-hour service. The staff even helped return my forgotten items on my first stay. I recommend enjoying the evening wine before settling in for a cozy night. I’m coming back for Christmas!

great location but breakfast needs improvement
The location was phenomenal, allowing easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. The friendly staff were always available to help, even accommodating my early morning coffee request. I loved the ocean view from my room—truly stunning! ! Especially while enjoying the afternoon cheese and wine event, which fostered a great atmosphere among guests.
The breakfast lacked some variety and items ran out too quickly.

The ocean view from the second-floor room was stunning, and the breakfast included delicious options such as blueberry scones and yogurt parfaits. The property's ambiance was inviting, especially during the afternoon cheese and wine gatherings. However, the room felt a bit cramped for three guests, the fireplace wasn't functioning properly, and there was insufficient darkness for restful sleep due to streetlights outside.

It was pricy for what we got but still bearable

The ocean views from my room were breathtaking, and I loved the peaceful atmosphere while enjoying wine and cheese with other guests in the afternoon. The location made it easy to take walks along the beach, and the nearby Boardwalk was a fun spot to explore.

The homemade muffins were a delightful way to kick off the morning! Plus, the afternoon wine and cheese was a fantastic way to chill with fellow beach lovers. The fire pits were a dream, too, making late-night chats a vibe.
Breakfast kinda fell flat—I've seen better spreads at a potluck! They ran out of bananas and eggs too early, so I ended up sticking to coffee. A little more variety would really up the game.
