Hey Simon, have you been by Mata Rocks? The room we stayed in last August was the ocean front junior suite with private balcony. The balcony is really really really close to the water (10-15 ft I am guessing) right in front of their pier. And the Squirrel's Nest is pretty close to the shore line too. I am just a little concerned for the wonderful staff and beautiful property. Stay safe and have a rum and soda at BC's for me. mo
