Beautiful view in a lovely hotel nestled just outside of town.
Pros:

The location was perfect. We had a lovely water view and we were so close to town. The private deck, beach, and pier were so nice and we even played corn hole.

Cons:

The water in the shower did not get quite as hot as I prefer, but not everyone likes it as hot as I do. There was a bit of an odor to the room at first. We aired it out a while and it went away.
