The Staff were very professional, helpful, and courteous. The grounds were beautiful and well-kept. Parking was easy and available. The room was a loft and very classy. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was all-inclusive including a hot tub that was quite relaxing, a vanity, and a shower area which were huge in scope. The dining was superb and the waiter was very professional. I would reserve a room at the Inn By The Sea again without hesitation.

Such a treasure this place. The warm welcome made you feel home right away. Auch a great location and venue, right next tot he sea. It feels like in a fairytale. Also super dog friendly. We are so happy we found that place and would always come back again. Most friendly reception and staff. Amazing spacious rooms with a breathtaking view from the living room and the bedroom.

We checked in and checked our after an hour, the lobby and room smelled very strong like dogs and the pool was said to be for dogs only that evening. Nothing seemed as pictured when i booked. We could not stay there from the strong dog smell.

Not a great experience. One night stay and booked the beach suite to be able to enjoy the view. Would have been nice to know there would Be a wedding and reception with loud music right off our balcony. Spilt some water on the floor opening the fridge right after check in and wiped up with a white towel and the towel was black. I’m guessing floors were not washed. I’m not one to leave negative reviews but I feel for what this place costs, they need to step it up!
