Being early March, it was 55 degrees on day 1 and 69 on day 3. Being from Vermont, any day is a good day to sit at the end of a pier watching the sun rise and/ or set with a coffee/ beer in hand. The restaurant was excellent, with complementary breakfast, and dinner service available.

Very much enjoyed our time - the Staff are awesome; food is very good and plentiful. Only one negative note: the walls and floors are thin, so depending on how busy and how lucky you get with neighbors, and your tolerance for human noise, this may affect your experience.
