The room was very clean and everything seemed brand new. The bed was firm enough to where it won’t disturb the person next to you if you’re tossing and turning at night.
The property is minutes from the beach and many restaurants. Highly recommended!

After a bad experience at a chain motel, we scrambled to find another place close by as we are visiting our son at the naval base. Though the rooms are small, they are the cleanest we've ever seen. The property is quiet, the courtyard is beautiful with picnic tables and chairs to sit at and enjoy nature. It is a 5 minute walk to public beach access or a very easy drive. The fridges in room have actual freezers rather than just a freezer compartment in the fridge. The staff is super friendly and was able to get us a room even though we had literally just made our reservation while parked in their lot! This spot will be our go to from now on. 10/10 on all fronts!

We like the interior courtyard facing rooms. We like the proximity to the beach. We like the small room designs.

Super friendly staff/owners. Gave us a great suggestion for dinner at Ocean View Fishing Pier (definitely recommend). Overall excellent accommodations for the price.

The only thing I like about the inn was, how close it was to the beach. Just had to walk cross the street.
I didn't like the small parking area behind the building. The rooms looked, nothing like the picture. There were different cracks and holes in the wall. Also, trimming was missing from the walls. The door to the room is extremely lose. Took the shower 15 minutes to warmer up. Black mold was on the ceiling in spots.
The bed was lump, and was not what we request. We booked a room with a queen bed and received a full-size.
The gentlemen at the front desk was rude and not helpful at all. Couldn't hand us a booklet of different things to do in the area, and could only recommend one place to eat at.

When your your own actions cause you to have a bad guest experience, that doesn't give you the right to leave a false review. Between me knocking on your door asking you to keep it down and the guests in the room next to you calling The Police because of the problems, we had every right to ask you to leave. So next time try and make your review a little more believable.

Very clean. Lovely inside court, relaxing.
Friendly family owned and staffed
