Wonderful stay, probably the nicest place I’ve stayed in. They have so many high-end thoughtful touches in the room. Love the snacks, free bike rentals, and comfortable bed/pillows. Only a 10 minute walk from the wharf. I highly recommend.

The rooms exceeded expectations. Whoever furnished the interior has a keen eye for design. Great location that is walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Only stayed for one night but would be good for a longer vacation as well.

The room is like a small one bedroom apartment, it was cute and had everything you needed. There's a water refill station in the office and free snacks. The staff was friendly and great. We borrowed the bikes every other day.
