Joan, our host, was the BEST. She was friendly, had great stories, and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The location was perfect and we were able to easily get to Salem and other surrounding areas. The view of the ocean was amazing as well.

Our hostess, Joanie, is so special! Her care made our stay even better! Her home is lovely, very warm and inviting and IMMACULATE! Her breakfasts were fit for royalty! So delicious, and she waited on us, serving us like we were family. She was also a wealth of knowledge and information about the community and the best, fastest way to get to the airport amid morning traffic! Thank you, Joanie!!

Wonderful private home with excellent hostess and full breakfast meals. Well worth the price. Owner had a fascinating history. The house had a great view of the water and was less than a block from a park and paved walkway along the water and into town. Highly recommended!
