Book this for your stay in the area
It’s rare for me to give such a glowing review, but this property was so much fun to stay at. It’s really steps away from the beach in one direction and steps away from the start of all the shops and restaurants in the other. The room was clean and modern, there were a ton of amenities to check out and use, and I wish we could have stayed far longer than the two nights we did. Can’t remember if all the rooms had an ocean view, but that made it more inviting.

Great stay. Ideal location at the quieter end of town. Lovely laid back place. We enjoyed it thoroughly. Everything within walking distance. Lots of restaurant choice. Out of season so no problem getting tables. By the Sea staff were lovely and very helpful.

The location is steps away the beach. The communication with the hotel was excellent. Our family of four enjoyed our five-day stay. There is no elevators for travelers to transport luggage, therefore you will have some stairs to climb if stay in one of the upper units.
