I cannot say enough good things about this place! We absolutely loved staying here. The rooms exceeded our expectations and seemed to be recently renovated. The owners, Cody and her sister, were amazing — so friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. We will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful room/suite. Comfortable bed and spacious room. Well appointed, clean and great amenities. We're here for a week and love it already after one day! Close to the beach and walking/biking paths, restaurants and souvenir shopping.
