Pros

Dedicated event management team oversees all function details

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.”
