The property photos are very misleading. Other than a partial view, there’s zero beach access and no comfortable areas to relax and enjoy the view. The bed was extremely soft and only two pillows so we both slept terribly. The worst part was the grungy bathroom. The 60-70s remodel wasn’t just dated but actually disintegrating, distressed in an unintentional way. The shower was about 7’ high over a tub with a too short curtain so the floor flooded - not to mention that it was disgustingly dirty. We both have gray/white hair and there was a long black hair in the soap holder, and a moldy mat that should’ve been replaced a decade ago. I’d never let my guests see something like that let alone expect them to use it. Lastly the fake “fireplace” didn’t heat - but the room had to space heaters?! I’ll never go back.

We had a wonderful stay and the staff was very welcoming. Quiet retreat, easy walk into town. Good location and breakfast.
Small changes - longer shower curtain and have working bathroom fan.
Would definitely visit again!

I expected more based on the photos of the room I was booking. Apparently it was not available. Ours had tiny bathroom and it bothered me The rest was good and the area is beautiful.
