“The location is perfect being on the boardwalk and right off the street.”
What couples highlight
“We left the slider open and enjoyed the sound of waves crashing on the beach every night.”
From the reviews
We were given a great group rate for a class reunion event. I wanted to stay there for years, but thought it was too far from downtown. It turned out to be the perfect location. We left the slider open and enjoyed the sound of waves crashing on the beach every night.
Getting married at Grand Hotel
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
