“The question ‘where shall we spend the summer?’ is one that is probably being considered in a number of households, and although the preference felt for mountain, sea coast or river scenery will of course in a great measure determine the choice made, still if the vacation is to be thoroughly enjoyed, the hotel accommodations available must be carefully studied. Many people make the mistake of wandering so far from civilization on their summer pilgrimage that they find themselves deprived of the comforts and luxuries to which they are accustomed and return home weary and unrefreshed, disgusted with summer hotels in general. Houses may be found however which combine many attractions, and among the many at this popular beach we know of none better situated than the Sea View House of which Mr. J.E. Hubbard is the proprietor. This house is located near the beach and commands a fine view not only of the ocean but also of the surrounding country. The table is unexcelled and every thing possible is done for the comfort of its guests. A summer spent at the Sea View will long be remembered and without doubt be repeated a second season. Mr. Hubbard has accommodations for fifty guests and his rooms are well furnished and his prices are reasonable.”
