"Small and well-run, this little beach front inn is a throwback to simpler times. As well as colorful rooms there are bungalows with large verandas and up to two bedrooms and two baths."

"A cheerfully spiffed-up boutique property, where the best rooms have big cherrywood four-poster beds and spacious layouts...also the kind of friendly place that encourages mingling with your neighbors" Full review
