Room was great

Edgewater Inn And Suites
Rooms are close to the beach. Perfect for taking the dog down for a stroll amd bathroom break. Rooms do have very thin walls so if you're in need of absolute quiet, I would not recommend.

Madonna Inn
Madonna Inn was a spectacular getaway. We were pleased with our view from the Matterhorn room and the comfortable bed and spacious room. Delicious food options on the property and friendly staff. We can’t wait to return!!
