Mason Beach Inn was comfortable and within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. For the price $400+/nt you’re paying for the location. Pool was nice.

Great hotel in a great location!
Great stay with a clean and modern room. The pool area was nice as well. You could hear people walking and talking and the bathroom in our own room was not soundproof but other than that, it was great! Location was perfect and the staff was very friendly and attentive!
