This is my go to place when traveling in the area. They have just recently done some renovations and absolutely love what they’ve done. Very clean, comfortable and dog friendly. Wonderful ocean view with beach, bonfires and chairs to enjoy sunsets. The restaurant there Saltwood is great too.

The resort is truly a unique and amazing property. Located right on the private beach with amenities like nightly bonfires, bocce ball, pool w/ hot tub, spa and an amazing restaurant! The restaurant on property was so spectacular with an open grill and great ambiance and incredible menu. Staff is very attentive and friendly. You move about the property in gold cars with a driver, so fun! Rooms are clean and new - beautifully decorated with a fireplace and balcony. Highly recommend!
