Entry door rusted an hard to close/open. It was showing a lot of corrosion due to salty environment. Breakfast ample but so/so. $15 pp not bad I guess, if you bring a cruise ship appetite.

Bathroom issues
We shared bathroom with another family with small children who were not trained in proper bathroom etiquette.Pee and wet towels on the floor. Adults not much better...bottle of Gatorade left in shower, along with small plastic bags with leftover shampoo / conditioner. Pretty disgusting. .

We had a great time at 1661. The farm across the street was amazing. Breakfast was really good and the afternoon wine and cheese was adorable with the birds hanging out with us. The views were breathtaking.

I had an amazing stay at this inn. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering staying. I stayed in a smaller room and had a shared balcony and shared bathrooms. Definitely worth it in consideration to the location being close to all of the restaurants as well as the gorgeous view. The breakfast was amazing as well as all of the staff being extremely helpful to make sure I was happy and satisfied with my stay. Everything was cleaned very thoroughly as well and I have no complaints in regard to the cleanliness of my room as well as the lobby and dining area.
