    Beautiful house inside and out and fantastic location. We had an amazing weekend. The room we stayed in was very “cozy”. You can’t walk around the bed without turning sideways! Not the room we saw pictured. Linens could use a refresh. Would have loved the continental breakfast to include fruit or juice but we appreciated how nice it was laid out for us each morning. The host is very nice and responsive (lives in the house) and let us borrow beach chairs and a cooler which was an added bonus. Bring your own beach towels. Tips: Make dinner reservations in advance! We were warned street parking could be difficult but we did not have an issue. This was our first time at this type of bed and breakfast- consider it more like room for rent or crashing at a friend’s.
