This cute place has no pool or restaurant, but the ocean is right across a quiet street. And there are very walkable restaurants, shops, and art galleries. Brooke and the staff were so hospitable and kind. They have chairs and a bike to borrow for the beach, and a homey deck to watch the sunset. Loved it.

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed. Beautiful, unique, very clean and quiet, 2 steps from the ocean. You can hear the waves while sleeping. Great bed and all the bathroom amenities are high quality. Me. At the reception was very welcoming and polite. Thank you!

Beautiful property and the stay was great. Only thing is the man in the front desk made a comment I didn’t appreciate. My 3 year old son was outside of the office and he was yelling out of excitement. He asked if he would be doing that the whole stay. It was around 3pm when we checked in. I don’t see why he felt the need to make that comment. I would visit again, but without my children because I didn’t feel they were 100% welcome. If you have children and plan to visit be sure they are trained to keep very quiet.
