Pros: The wonderful breakfasts and location of the hotel to the beach. They have a private beach and provide chairs, umbrellas, lounge chairs. Rest room on the beach was immaculate. Coffee tea and lemonade served 24/7.. Staff is available to help anytime. Room was immaculate and had a lovely view.
Cons: A comfortable chair to watch TV in the room. But no space for it really in the room I was in. Propped up on the bed hurt my back after a while.
Cons: A pool would be a nice addition but the lot appears to be too small to accommodate one.

Pros: The suite was immaculate and the design was especially nice. There was clear thought put into every corner of the rooms. The common areas were also very nice, warm and welcoming. The beach was raked each morning and very clean. Staff were welcoming and accommodating. We'll go back again.
Cons: Check in was a bit long. I appreciated the level of information, but don't think it was necessary to go over each hand-out regarding the area and eateries in such detail. The tour was very informative, but wished it had been a little quicker. That said, that staff could not have been nicer, so it wasn't a huge issue.

Cons: Not a huge deal unless my rheumatism is acting up but guest should be aware there is no elevator to rooms/suites on second& third floors where the ocean view rooms are located.

Pros: It felt like a cosy B&B you'd find on short stay holidays, yet in one of the most beautiful places in the United States. The owners were almost fighting over who got to give us recommendations and the freedom we had was quite liberating.
Cons: The only tiny thing was that we didn't know how to operate the shower. Ours looked like it was broken and it took until they called the maintenance guy out for us to work out how it was operated.

Breakfast was a treat, with a new selection daily. Tasty snacks available throughout the day.
The location was just perfect. The private, well groomed beach allowed for more room to choose a place to lounge in the sun.
Both the enclosed veranda and the large living room provided space for every guest to use.
Best vacation so far!

The welcoming fruit basket, plate of pastries, and box of chocolate are such thoughtful touches. I was there one night in a rainy northeaster and the wind howling off the ocean couldn't compete with the warmth and coziness of the gas fired stove in the living area. Wonderful spot!

Pros: The gal who cleans the units was exceptional. She gave us information on where to eat and what to expect. Excellent references on the restaurants. The unit was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked.
Cons: The beds were very uncomfortable. The couch when made into a bed it was horrid. I would not even call it a bed. Pay close attention to the fine print. Once you book your accomadation they send you a brochure giving you lots of information. There are lots of rules!! Break the rules and it is more money. There is no view to speak of..
