    The greeting as soon as we walked into the office was very warm and friendly. We had a garden king size room, ground level. It was so peaceful sitting outside and had a beautiful ocean breeze. The room was really cozy and very clean . The bed was comfortable and the linens were fresh. The location was amazing. The beach is right there and we walked to dinner. This is the perfect place for a quiet, cozy, relaxing get away. We had a wonderful time and we will stay again.
