Beautiful view of the ocean. Room nothing special. Outdoor light from main house that is kept on all night for safety is pointed toward the room. Shades do not completely close so unable to block the light.

Wonderful ocean views, beautiful pool area, charming main house and a classic Atlantic rock shore across the street that is wonderful to explore with the kids or sit and meditate.
