I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were gorgeous and spacious overlooking the lawn and water, giving a cozy feeling. The price of $275 per night was really worth it. The service was impressively professional and friendly, especially with their assistance in wine selection. The location was peaceful, with the bay in front and ocean just across the road. The dining was included and had excellent made-to-order sandwiches.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were charming, spacious, and comfortable, offering gorgeous views of the lawn and water. The price was reasonable at only $275 per night, but be sure to check room sizes when booking. The location was peaceful and serene, with the bay in front and the ocean just a short distance away. Dining was good, but a main course with a side and drinks could cost close to $100. Overall, a lovely experience with some minor considerations.

My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The location was simply perfect, providing private access to both the Atlantic beach and the cove beach while being at the entrance of the Coskata Coatue Wildlife Refuge with access to spectacular views at Great Point. The staff was incredibly friendly, responsive, and professional, making my experience top-notch. However, I did find the room a bit small with not enough seating for two people, which was a slight inconvenience.
