Very cute boutique hotel which definitely exceeded my expectations! The location was the best - we walked to the beach, the restaurants and coffee shops. The rooms were clean with all expected amnesties. The staff were polite and professional. We booked 2 rooms and they upgraded 1 of our rooms to a family suite - Cypress. It had a cute loft area too with a queen bed. The stairs were a little steep but not too bad. Overall great experience - very cute garden area too. Definitely coming back!!

The hotel and whole area was extremely pet friendly and made it so comfortable! We found parking, but we also got there a couple hours before check in and walked to the beach. Later on, the parking was pretty full so it may be harder the later you get there! All together, this place was great!
