Everything was great! We loved the location close to the ocean. The sunset was beautiful, and hearing the sound of the ocean waves was soothing! The food at Porthole down the street was excellent.

These rooms are time-share condo studios that are rented as hotel rooms when not owner-occupied. Nice little kitchenette in the room, but only one packet of coffee, no creamer. Nice condition, clean, comfortable. NOT ocean view. Very friendly, helpful staff. No in-house breakfast or coffee/cooler in the lobby. Big parking lot, very little landscaping. At $145 for a single on a Friday night, good value - and I would stay here again without hesitation.

We decided to take our little dog with us for a 4 day family vacation and based on reviews chose The Canterbury Inn. The folks there were so welcoming! Our room was great and the kitchen had everything we needed. They even supplied us with dog towels, blankets and dishes! The location is great, and the there is a nice walk (maybe 10 minutes) via trail down to the beach. We enjoyed our stay so much we are planning to make this an annual trip!

I really enjoyed this condominium style room. It had a lot of pluses. With the kitchen and the living room space and separate bedroom. I also liked that there was plenty of areas to walk my dog. The big negative is that even though there is supposed to be Wi-Fi good luck getting access to it and you absolutely cannot stream any tv or cable shows. You are stuck with watching the direct tv service that they provide. Also the rooms get very stuffy and could use some sort of air conditioning. They do provide a box fan but I could only imagine during the summer time how uncomfortable it would be. Also it takes quite a while for the water heater to heat up in the shower. Overall there are there are many more pluses than negatives and I would recommend this place. The staff was very friendly during check out/ check in.
