Comfort with a Coastal Touch
A truly great stay feels comfortable from the moment you walk in. Bright, airy rooms, ocean views that make you pause, and thoughtful details that make you feel at home.
At Beach Terrace, mornings start slow with coffee and the sound of the waves. The breakfast spread is especially a guest favorite, filled with fresh fruit, pastries, and local favorites served alongside sweeping views of the coast.
After breakfast, spend the day by the pool with your feet in the water, letting the ocean breeze do the rest. When the sun begins to set, the sky glows in soft gold and pink, perfect for sharing a quiet moment with someone you love.
