This was such an enjoyable stay! We brought our three kids and the staff was so attentive and thoughtful. They even had a scavenger hunt ready for them. It’s a beautiful property located in an a peaceful neighborhood with beautiful views of the ocean. The breakfast was also very good! Fresh fruit and pastries along with coffee and juice made our mornings that much easier. Overall, a great stay and would definitely recommend!

Unlike many other hotels, this is place where you can get peace of mind. The old small houses contribute to this feeling. The place was clean, but I would consider changing the worn carpet.
