My wife and I stayed at Mont Vernon in November 2013, and are returning in March. We enjoyed it very much. Keep in mind that Mont Vernon is not really a hotel, so there is no front desk staff, no daily housekeeper (unless you want to pay extra for it), and the only restaurant on the property is a small pizza place. The rooms are beautiful, well-furnished, and spacious. Our only real issue was with parking. We had to park in a lot near the tennis courts that turned into quite a mud pit after a hard rain. It was also quite a hike from the parking lot to our room. That said, the rates at Mont Vernon are considerable less than other places along the beach.
