A nice cozy place and fit our needs for one night. The walls are thin so heard neighbor’s noise. The sitting area outside was nice. However it was very cold & rainy so we did not get to enjoy that part. The owners were amiable and helpful to recommend a good restaurant.

The room was very clean and was a large space to enjoy. The view of the balcony was as to die for as it overlocked the ocean bay and sat right on the waters edge. The parking was great as you are able to park outside your door. I would recommend this to all as it was a great location, we were there for 4 nights and enjoyed every minute we were there. Would stay here again if we returned to NS.
