My husband and I just stayed in one of the Ocean-Front Queen rooms for the weekend! The location of this propery is great...around MM 10. The view is GREAT! No dunes in the way! The patio is nice.

Windows are small, linens are dated, bathroom is very small. The location is good, the staff is very friendly and nice. I have no complaints about the... More

I think we'll be returning to the Beacon for many years to come, and we're even thinking about bringing some other family members with us next year. This is a wonderful place to stay...rooms are clean, pool... More
