Well-maintained quaint property with convenient parking and easy walk to the beach. Windows open! Hard to find these days, but we were able to let in the ocean air. Ceiling fans in the room as well. Kind staff. Nice breakfast and breakfast space.

Everything about the hotel is exceptional except the shower/tub bathroom. A slight redo similar to the bedroom would be fabulous. Regardless, we will stay again for certain.
