This is a wonderful B&B, one of the best we have stayed in. The hosts were very helpful, and very welcoming. I would highly recommend this B&B. You will not be disappointed. The hosts go out of their way to assist in every detail and they were so nice and welcoming. We had a great experience and would return again for sure. The room was superb and very well appointed. Great B&B.

This is a wonderful B&B within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Our room was spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed and an extra-large luxury shower. Kim and Doug were awesome hosts, friendly and helpful. Free use of the kayaks and paddleboards was a nice extra. Breakfast is continental style with bottomless coffee and we enjoyed it on the large front porch-what a great way to start our day!
