Nice spacious room. Comfortable bed and towels.
Loved the updated room. All comfortable. Maybe check the staff could showers for grout mold near faucet. I realize it’s the coast. Quiet on a Sunday.

Great location, clean
Rooms were clean and comfortable with a fireplace! The property was wonderful. Right on the edge of a bluff overlooking the ocean. Fire pits and plenty of comfortable chairs for everyone to enjoy. Small pool and spa overlooking the ocean. There was even a trail you could walk along multiple properties. We would definitely stay there again. No free breakfast.

Great Room!
We were abke to book this stay at the last minute and glad we did. The room was nice, even had a fireplace. We had a deck with chairs to watch the ocean. Team Members were very friendly. The only critique was the furniture was a little dated.
