Not all rooms offer bay views

“Surf & Sand Hotel enjoys a prime location right on the bay, with many rooms offering desirable ocean views. Kayaks, paddleboards, and bikes are freely available, which is an incredible value add. The breakfast lady makes a mean breakfast and the property's proximity to shops and restaurants is great.”
