Our stay was perfect! We were just a block from the beach. The inn is located in a quiet residential beach community. Beautifully decorated - beach minimalist. Loved it!

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.
