Not an Inn, it’s an AirBnB
It is a wonderful location but unfortunately it is not an inn, it is an AirBnB / motel setting. The property is a converted house where each bedroom has its own access code. We were looking forward to staying at an inn and this our lower rating. The property itself is great, the communication and support was exceptional.

Very peaceful location venue. The bed was so comfortable; I want to purchase the same mattress! Beautiful setting on the water with a large dock for relaxing and harbor seal watching!

I love all the little extras that made the place special. We were lucky with the weather and were able to kayak around the harbor. The parking was tricky, but we had plenty of warning and instruction ahead of time. Beware of the steep driveway to reach the entrance. Definitely not accessible by all.

Beautiful and relaxing
Beautiful, clean and has everything we needed. Too bad we only stayed one night. Patsy was very helpful and quick to respond to our questions. You know that owners put a lot of effort in making guest feel comfortable. Has its own dock that you can hang out and relax. Definitely one of the bst places we’ve stayed at in our travels.

Very nice and clean place. You can see that the owners take a lot of pride with their establishment. All the furnishings are clean and new. The kayaks and paddle boards were a big plus along with the huge deck on the harbor

The idealic location with a view of the harbor was beautiful and the room and bed were outstanding. The contactless checkin was flawless and the serenity sitting on the dock was great way to end our west coast vacation. We were lucky enough to get a street level parking space as the steepness for other spaces and getting to the entry could be challenging for some. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing time. Extremely clean and comfortable and they were very responsive. Great location. Walkable all around the harbor. Enjoyed using the kayak they provided. The bath products smelled amazing. Appreciated the snacks in the common area.

This hotel was not what i was expecting. Everything was do it yourself with no housekeeping.
And we were able to hear everything and everyone in the room next to us or below us. You can hear every little thing also from the common area. Cute room and location was convenient but would not stay again

My daughter and I were doing a girls trip around Washington. This was our last stop before heading back home. I’m so glad I picked this place! Although we were unable to get a scenic view room since they were already booked, our room was a perfect cozy spot, especially being street level and no lugging our luggage up or downstairs. There’s a beautiful deck out back that we sat and looked out at the seals swimming around. We were sad that we were only there for one night! Before leaving we took out the kayaks for a quick paddle around the harbor. Would highly recommend. The owners were also very responsive when we needed anything.
