The room was very clean, well appointed. I got a room with corner windows with a great view of the waves, beach, and sunset. Great location. Courteous staff. Will stay again.

Simple and cute, great location to bars and restaurants
Check in staff was so friendly, professional, and thorough. Room was amazing! Exceptionally clean and amenities were perfect! The entire hounds were so clean, spacious and very comfortable! We will be back!
Our room was very clean and ready for us! The Tides has always been our place to stay before and after renovations. We the location! The views are stunning. We love.
Everything about this place was fun. It was clean. The staff were great and I highly recommend it. My mother-in-law might even want to book a whole family reunion there.
They’ve done a nice job remodeling this place so it’s super cute. However, if you have a room with a guest above you, you can hear everything… I would stay her again but probably opt for a stand alone cottage. Nice view. Access to beach is pretty close but not on the property. Brew and blast next door was nice to grab a burger and beer.
