The parking facilities were quite convenient and safe. However, it was somewhat challenging for two elderly ladies to navigate the steep incline. The view was truly stunning. We were slightly inconvenienced by being disturbed before 9:00 with the sounds of saws and construction work in progress, as we were facing the water. Overall, we were quite content with our experience and would certainly return.

Perfect location with dock access and incredible views from the harbor. Immaculate, well appointed rooms with fresh, comfortable decor. The walk down to the dock from upper level rooms is very steep and not for those with mobility issues. Consider a lower level room if you have mobility limitations. Property exceeded expectations.

We did not realize there was outdoor seating on the water until the morning of check out. Loved all the coffee options, beautiful shower, soft bed. The town was so much cuter than we expected and there was much to do.
