Nice, quiet location, in a harbor on the ocean. Hotel has a vintage vibe, with all the modern amenities. Owner/Operator adds a personal touch and has a flair for taking everything about the property to the next level. Just walk around and notice all the subtle details. Excellent!

My husband and I enjoyed meeting Karen, the owner, when we checked in. She renovated the property and she did such a nice job, from the cozy rooms, to the landscaping and finally to the Continental Breakfast which included fresh fruit , bagels and cream cheese, biscotti for your coffee. When I’m in the area again, I’m staying here.
