Owners communicated before checking & provided so much info for parking & things to do, places to eat. It was a wonderful property with a patio & kayaks were included with the room. It was close to dining & all walkable. We definitely recommend staying here! Thank you

It is a wonderful location but unfortunately it is not an inn, it is an AirBnB / motel setting. The property is a converted house where each bedroom has its own access code. We were looking forward to staying at an inn and this our lower rating. The property itself is great, the communication and support was exceptional.
