“The direct beachfront location and well-appointed, recently updated rooms create a compelling setting, particularly with kitchens and screened porches that make the most of the ocean views. I found the dinner service at Coconuts particularly noteworthy for its impeccable attention and delicious seafood presented against a sunset backdrop. This property clearly understands how to blend prime location with comfortable, appealing accommodations.”
