We had the most enjoyable week staying at the sea rock! We had room 11, which is absolutely spectacular, we really didn’t want to Are you OK? Did you blow it leave the room! The people at the front desk were more than helpful with restaurant ideas, hiking plans, things to see and do, and tried to meet all of our needs with such kindness. This is our fourth time staying at the Sea rock, and we will definitely be back!

Our only regret was staying just one night! Beautiful ocean views, complimentary brownies, a delicious balcony breakfast and a cozy wood burning fireplace made our stay unforgettable. We can’t wait to return!
