A Coastal Chic Vibe at Tamarack Beach Hotel

The non-smoking rooms offer amenities that rival a big hotel chain, meaning you’ll enjoy the finer things as a guest. The décor and furnishings have a coastal chic vibe, blending casual and elegant style to create a peaceful beach retreat. With 23 rooms, the hotel is not too big or crowded, so you can relax in your room or in the common areas that provide plenty of space for all guests.

Start your mornings at Tamarack Beach by dining on the complimentary continental breakfast, served daily, or grab a table at Dini’s Bistro, the restaurant and lounge located right on site. From there, you can check out the daily activities on the event calendar or head to the beach for a day of fun in the sun. If you prefer, stay at the hotel and lounge by the outdoor heated pool or soak away your cares in the hot tub. The property also has a gym with state-of-the-art fitness equipment and a recreation room that has a full-size billiards table, ping pong, board games, and other activities to pass the time with family and friends.

If work is unavoidable during your stay, take advantage of the 1,250 square feet of meeting space to hold meetings or team building exercises. You can also use the event space for special occasions; just talk to the friendly, professional staff to make any arrangements.
