10/10 Exceptional

The front desk was a welcoming experience, with a small tour of property and story behind the owners. If you are looking for an old school seaside getaway, look no further. Our room had a few cracks in the windows, contributing to the nights chill, but the blankets and heater were strong enough to keep us warm. Breakfast brought to the room was a nice simple touch.
Lily, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property. We had a one night stay but we really enjoyed our stay and walked around the property admiring the beautiful garden and views. Will definitely come back soon and stay longer. Nice little breakfast with fresh fruits I really enjoyed. Thank you Katrina for being so kind and friendly with us. Cant wait to come back.

10/10 Exceptional

It is older but has character. The grounds are beautiful with plertiful flowers and lush green trees and bushes. The bay view is phenomenal. We had a suite upstairs which was an inconvenience but staff more than made up for it. There was an eagle pair nesting there and fishing in the ocean with the pelicans. It is quiet and peacefull and beautiful.
