Cape Stout Estate
The Rooms
The estates seven suites offer a choose-your-own-adventure style of stay.
I stayed in the Sand suite with panoramic views of ocean waves crashing on the secluded Honeymoon Beach below.
Next door, the Salt suite mirrors mine with a different color palate.
Downstairs, the Surf suite offers the same king bed and luxe ensuite bathroom setup without the loft.
Just a short path away, the Beach Barn is a hotspot for kids of all ages.
The deluxe suite features two levels, three queen beds, and two double beds set up sleeper train-style.
Outfitted with a sound system, TV, and PlayStation, the lounge area keeps the entertainment going.
Cape Stout Estate can accommodate 24 guests and is available for exclusive buyouts only.
During low season, the nightly rate for the entire estate checks in at $24,000.
