The hotel was bright and airy and had great views of the sea. Free coffee, tea and other drinks were an added plus. The front desk staff could not have been nicer. And the price was right.

I loved being across from the Ocean and so close to several beaches. I do wish the walk for breakfast wasn’t so far, but that’s only due to my laziness. It was a great location. The staff was super friendly too. My only downside was hearing the water run like it was in my room, but it knead either upstairs or next door. Not a deal breaker and nothing they can do about it.

Loved this place! Right across the street from the ocean. Rooms and lobby are spacious, bright and clean. It's further out from town, but still walk-able (~40 mins walk) and a short drive. Highly recommend.

Very cute on outside and great location right across the street from the ocean and nice receptionist. The only negative is the carpet in the room needs to be replaced or even better have no carpet as it makes the room very musty smelling.

Although the property was much larger than I thought it was, we found the Inn to be very nice. The furnishings were great and proximity to the beach was perfect.

Super small rooms. Uncomfortable for two people. Also noisy. We woke up at 4am because of the noise of people walking in the room above us. Then heard their shower noise until a while after 5am. On our vacation, we slept 5 hours a night because of the noise.
