Our 2nd trip to this amazing property! Grounds are well maintained and room was clean and very comfortable. Slept like a baby with sliding door open and sound of oceans waves. Had dinner in restaurant and the quality was like a 5 star! Outstanding food! Photos are from our balcony. Breath taking views.

The management and staff were quite lovely. We had to leave a day early because of a family issue at a wedding, and I broke down in front of the man there and he was SO KIND! (Which made me cry even more) A lovely location, and we loved the gazebo!

Nice B&B with beautiful setting looking out on ocean. Breakfast was great. Dinner was mixed. One appetizer and entree were excellent. The other appetizer and entree were so-so. (Onion soup came with cheese not melted but scorched, and pork entree was overcooked, dry, and tough.). Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Great for that intimate secluded get a away. Far from hustle bustle of town, left alone while at the Inn. Great private beach access, garden was well kept and food was above standard. Rooms were great but could use minor TLC, poor window function and single ply toilet paper were a couple inconveniences that seemed out of place with the rest of the experience.
