  : Beautiful location, wonderful pool with great view of the water and terrific sunsets- the restaurant had nice small free breakfast, and the dinner menu was great
  : Although the staff is enthusiastic and friendly, the property needs work- the bathtub in the room had permanent stains, and the whole place could use a general face-lift

  : The room was beautiful. It had been renovated and whoever did the decorating had a great eye for detail and finishes. We loved the nautical look. Very well done!! And it came with a nice size refrigerator and a mini split air conditioner that was super quiet and worked very well. The Adirondack chairs were a lovely touch and I wish every hotel had them on the balcony! The size of the balcony was perfect as well; much larger than most and private (there was another building where they had a shared balcony...). And the breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts I've had; very fresh and delicious. You could tell the eggs were real and the fruit was fresh. It was just nice that it was included in the rate. And also that they had a full bar and option for dinner. The restaurant has a nice view of the bay and also an outside seating option. They also provided for the use of kayaks along with life jackets free of charge! Very nice touch! And there was a salt water pool that we didn't use, but wish we would have brought our bathing suits.
  : It would have been better for the window in the bathroom to open like an awning instead of sliding back and forth for privacy (we were on the first floor) and the room could have used a bathroom exhaust fan too, but it's pretty typical of rooms we have stayed in before where they did not install a fan during the renovation (it may not have been possible). Also, it looked like the tub insert should have had shelves in the corners, but there were no shelves and minimal spots to place our personal bath items for showering, which was not a big deal really. The hotel offered a happy hour, but only for drinks. It would have been nice to also have some food options for happy hour. We had a partial view of the bay from our room, so I would suggest asking for a room in the buildings with unobstructed views of the bay. If they are available when you book, it is really nice not to see a building in front of your balcony.

  : Beautiful property! Lots of amenities (pool, ocean, kayaks, etc.)
  : There was a bad smell outside of our room. Could have been low tide, but smelled like sewage.

  : Breakfast was great. Rooms were clean. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Location was pretty and convenient. Access to kayaks was nice.
  : There was a musty smell to the room. Bed was not that comfortable. Screen door was not working in one of the rooms. The accommodations did not meet expectations given the high cost. It would have been nice if they could have labeled the breakfast items with common allergy ingredients- gluten, dairy, nuts, etc.
