Great, cozy place
Pros:

The location is truly wonderful because you're within walking distance to a lot of places both downtown and also to the piers and beach without being on the main road with car noise. The room was spacious and comfortable and they truly think of all the details, including a towelette to remove tar off your feet if you go down to the beach. The pool was really nice, and the outdoor seating area was also clean and welcoming. The reception had coffee, instant oats, fruit, and even cookies for guests.

Cons:

It was great all around. Highly recommend.

The Mason Beach Inn is in a great location and has a fun beach vibe.
Pros:

We loved everything about our stay at The Mason Beach Inn. We rented bikes one day and it was easy. They brought frozen fruit out to us while we were lounging by the pool. There was always snacks and coffee available. Great location and fun vibe.
