Could not be better
Our family stayed at Inn By The Sea for a weekend in January. The property is stunning, and the suite was tremendous. We appreciated all of the little details that invited us to share great experiences together as a family, from the board games on the shelf, to the fire-pit and s'mores in the courtyard, to the walking trails along the beach, everything about the stay was simply wonderful.

Truly an old style inn but with all the modern updates.
