Pros

Dog-friendly amenities include Yappy Hour at The Set
Wine tasting venue features selections from local cellars
Indoor ocean view venue includes three-sided granite fireplace and vaulted beam ceilings
Cons
Paid Wi-Fi in rooms
1 mile from main downtown attractions
“The beachfront location and wine tasting room struck me as distinct advantages; however, some reports mention that the rooms could use some care. I think this property has potential, especially for travelers who value direct beach access and the on-site winery. While the facilities are nice, I would consider if the accommodation standards meet your expectations.”
