This was such an enjoyable stay! We brought our three kids and the staff was so attentive and thoughtful. They even had a scavenger hunt ready for them. It’s a beautiful property located in an a peaceful neighborhood with beautiful views of the ocean. The breakfast was also very good! Fresh fruit and pastries along with coffee and juice made our mornings that much easier. Overall, a great stay and would definitely recommend!
