Top hotels in Beach Tract
Lovers Point Inn
Clerk was informative and clear about what was welcomed and what is not welcome out of total respect for all guests. Also a good thing. Parking was meh. A bit inadquet for larger vehicles but otherwise plentiful for cars. Ground floor has ocean sounds but lacks views and I don't know how many floors ...
