Tips for Your Best Stay
💡 Load up that full kitchen from Trader Joe’s (5 miles)—the continental breakfast alone won’t cut it but the kitchen makes this place way more valuable.
💡 Continental breakfast is pretty basic. Grab yogurt and fruit from TJ’s to supplement or you’ll be hungry by 10am.
💡 Oyster Loft is a 6-minute walk when you want to eat out. Upscale seafood, great spot for a night off from cooking.
💡 Upper floor ocean-view suites have legit sunset views. If you’re doing suites anyway, the view upgrade is worth it.
💡 Game room’s clutch on rainy days or when kids are over the beach. Nice backup plan to have.
