This is one of those special places that is worth the trek. Once you step foot into the front door it feels as if you’ve stepped back into a different time. The finishes are all rich and appropriate and the town itself is adorable. Service is outstanding, bed was delicious and would go out of my way to stay here again!! True luxe on a small scale! A bit difficult to find which bldg to check in so ask for clear directions prior to check in.

Wonderful rental. In a great location to easily walk the city and only a few minute walk from the train station. Apartment is very spacious and is a nice upgrade option from a single hotel room. Well equipped to eat in and washer/dryer a definite advantage if you pack lightly as we did. Good communication with management. Overall we had a excellent stay!

Petra: ‘Hey! Why are you back so soon?’ Marcel: ‘I’ve come to tell you that I won’t make it to lunch with you, guys. …I’m going surfin’!...’ [I’ve gone to the beach later on to watch him with my friend Alison. The light, the waves, the sand… they were all incredible. I’ll always remember that afternoon. I secretly wished to be in the water and ride those waves, too. History came first at that time. But there’ll always be a ‘next time’.] #waterlust #BeachBound
