Loved the relaxed atmosphere and close proximity to a pristine, expansive beach. The accommodations were comfortable and attractive. Our breakfast first rate. The neighborhood was quiet, quaint and welcoming. The only issue we had was a loud fan right outside our bedroom window. We would definitely return and simply choose a different room.

nice location

One block from the beach is a perfect location. All the chairs are wicker and need to be replaced as there really isn't anywhere other than the bed to sit. Staff was very friendly and overall the rooms were very clean.
