Cliff House Inn On The Ocean

10/10 Excellent
"Our 3 day stay was pure bliss! The breakfast was light and well put together. They offered gluten free bread, as well. The dinner there was amazing! This is not a cheap meal- plan around $200 for four. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The view is 10/10. The only downside- heading South, you have to bypass the hotel and head back up to from another exit. 2. It was humid and I could not figure out if there was A/C. However, this was in September and the weather was perfect... *we don't come from a humid state* This was a core memory for us and our kids."
