Sitting on the gorgeous white-sand beach, the surfer-chic property maintains a breezy, summer-party atmosphere all day and night.

Cozy beach bungalows and poolside cabanas are available for rent, and on-site Captain Mike’s organizes boat rides, waterskiing, snorkeling excursions, and more. There’s also a small gym, an outdoor ping-pong table, and plenty of space in meeting rooms.

Accommodations are funky and vibrant with unique décor and furnishings. Each room at Postcard Inn is decorated in a surfer-chic style with throwback surfboards and bright colors and no two rooms are exactly alike.

The Boathouse was a restaurant attached to the lobby...no room service. The gard...

The PostCard Inn pool was being filled when we arrived, so I looked forward to hanging ou...
