This place was so cute and perfectly appointed, but most importantly Christian and Audri were the best hosts ever! They helped arrange transportation to wine country, art tours in Valpo, gave us details on how to best visit the sand dunes and made reservations at several amazing restaurants. Breakfast daily, clean, beautiful garden area in a quiet and convenient area - Just blocks from the beach!

An oasis in the city close to everything I wanted to experience. The room was comfortable and quiet with a great shower, breakfast was delicious, and the owners were so helpful, friendly, and accommodating. They helped me arrange transportation and a winery tour and answered all of my questions about the area. I felt safer and confident traveling by myself and had a magical, relaxing stay. Couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.
