If you’re looking for a peaceful, quiet little beach getaway, this inn’s got it. Although the room we stayed was small (Room 1), the beds were comfy and bathroom clean. The amenities were simple & basic. It’s tucked away in the sleepy neighborhood of Shell Beach right around the corner of Dinosaur Cave. I would definitely book again and try staying in their bigger king suites.
