9.2/10 Wonderful! (188 reviews)

It is truly a bed and breakfast. We stayed in the main house in a cozy upstairs updated bedroom overlooking the ocean. Breakfast was served every morning between 8am and 10am. Allowing us to have our coffee and stroll along the beach before our meal. Staff friendly and helpful. We will return again next year

9.4/10 Exceptional! (111 reviews)

This property was extraordinary. My late check-in was seamless, and my room was spacious and extremely comfortable. The staff (my apologies, I forgot the front desk staff's names) were friendly, helpful, and professional. I had one minor maintenance issue that Joe resolved promptly and courteously. My room was directly across from the water, so I had a great view from my room and balcony. Having a kitchen made me feel right at home. My local friends, etc., were extremely impressed by the property layout, location, and price. Downtown was within walking distance (about a mile), and the beach was nearby. I will definitely plan a return visit here, but it would be hard to top my last stay.
