I envision families and pet owners enjoying the accessible beach chairs and bike rentals, and finding comfort in the family-friendly and pet-friendly accommodations, although some rooms might need refreshing. The on-site bistro, with its unique Sunrise and Sunset menus, feels like a nice touch after a day exploring the beach.”
