Pros

Designated pet-friendly luxury accommodations

Marble-trimmed bathrooms with double sinks and lighted makeup mirrors

Partnership with local producers including Mixon Farms for fresh oranges

Accessibility features throughout, including mobility-accessible rooms and pool lifts

Cons

Golf Club requires shuttle transportation to access

20-minute drive to Vanderipe area

“This is a very good property, and its main advantage is the access to a private beach club, a true luxury in this area. I also appreciate that it is pet-friendly, since it's the only luxury hotel around with this service. The golf club seems to be a great place for those interested in the sport, though limited to members and guests.”
