In town for a wedding and we had a great stay. The room was clean, quaint, comfortable. The staff were extremely accommodating, allowing me to use their freezer for my breastmilk. Great location, walkable to many restaurants and the beach.

The beautiful views of the ocean. Rooms close enough to listen to the sound of the ocean waves. Relaxing, clean, and peaceful rooms. Feels rural, yet close to shopping, great coffee, and restraunts. People in the area are super friendly.
