Charming and effortlessly stylish, the White Water Inn delivers on every boutique detail. The cottage-chic décor creates a relaxed, coastal vibe that’s both elevated and inviting. Beds are incredibly comfy, and the surprise standout? The cocktails—impressively crafted for a small hotel. The breakfast basket with fresh pastries and mimosas adds a thoughtful, indulgent touch to your morning. And the fire pits overlooking the ocean? Perfect for winding down with a drink while watching the sunset. A cozy, classy gem on the coast.
