Just an overnight before visiting family for Xmas. Very comfortable. Two bed room was actually a suite with separate bedrooms. Fabulous setting. Good restaurant. Nice breakfast included.

A Room with a Spectacular View
A unique place right on the Ocean with spectacular views from all rooms over the pool and into the waves. A beach you can walk on during low tide. The rooms themselves are meh. Not great decor, old, squeaky bed, low grade uncomfortable pillows. The Shoals restaurant is very good.

The property location was the best part of our trip. It's right on the beach and we were able to hear the waves from our room. However, the room was severely outdated and run down. There was a huge dip in the bathroom floor and it smelled. It seemed like the floor was rotted or caving in. The shower was absolutely tiny and dirty. We saw some cracks in the walls and damage on the furniture.
Also there are no elevators and the Inn is 3 levels. It would be very challenging for people who have special needs. The stairs are the only option. I understand that the property is exposed to the elements but it needs some serious updating.
It was quiet and peaceful but we wouldn't go back. The staff was friendly and accommodating but it was disappointing because the photos didn't show the real conditions. It could've been our room only but I doubt it.
It would be ok for weekend but I can't imagine staying there longer than that.

The advertisement on Expedia about the room description didn’t match with real room. King ocean view shown on the pictures was indeed the deluxe room. The one we got as king ocean view was a tiny room and if you leave the blinds open to see the ocean everyone passing by your room will see the inside as that’s the pathway to all rooms.

My room had a very musty odor
I had to leave my door open and the fan on high to try to get rid of the smell.
On Saturday evening I returned to the hotel around 7:30 PM.
I asked the desk clerk if I needed a reservation for dinner and he told me no it wasn’t crowded
I went downstairs and the hostess asked my name.
She looked on a list and said she didn’t see my name and I told her I didn’t make a reservation that I asked upstairs if I could come down for dinner and they said yes you don’t need one. It’s not busy.
She said they shouldn’t do that. I felt very awkward and she looked put out, but then Asked me if I wanted Inside or outside.
Dinner was good and the service started out good.
My waitress came by to pick up my plate and didn’t even offer dessert.
I had already looked at the menu and ordered a slice of cheesecake.
Another worker came by and gave me fresh coffee.
I waited more than 10 minutes for my dessert. My coffee got cold so I decided to get up and pay my check and leave.
I walked into the restaurant and the waitress is coming out with the cheesecake and I told her I didn’t want it anymore. My coffee had already gotten cold.
She said I can get you more coffee and I told her no it’s fine. I don’t want it.
She got a Perturbed look on her face and told me I had to wait a minute because she had to redo the bill.
The best part about my stay was the view.
