Wonderful place to stay. The staff were helpful and friendly for accommodating a late check-in. The view from the place was amazing. The location was a bit further out of town than we realized but that was on us. But it was worth it for the view!

It was nice enough, but not quite what we'd expected. While the inn looks like a nice large home, there were no owners on site; just hired staff tending to the 13 rooms. Our room was clean, but basic and unimpressive decor. The breakfast buffet was very good though, and the ocean views from the breakfast tables, and from the front bedrooms I assume (ours faced the back) were lovely.

As nice as it was to have breakfast available in the morning, it was just okay. Whole grain bread, granola, glasses for juice and improved pancakes and potatoes would help. However, the yogurt, eggs, fruit and options for rolls were all good. The staff were super kind and helpful! Most of all the dining room was bright and airy with relaxing music (no news on the TV.😁). I enjoyed spending the evening there watching the sunset on that spectacular view!
