Pros:

Victorian hotel with ocean views. Right across the street from the ocean. Open your windows at night and listen to the ocean and let it ease you into sleep. Take a short walk to Lover’s Point, the beach or dining. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Can’t wait to return

Loved our stay
Pros:

The location is amazing! We had beautiful views from our bay-facing room. The room was clean and comfy. The one thing i feel could stand improvement was breakfast. For such a beautiful stay, the breakfast was average.

Pros:

It’s a beautiful location, overall the service and staff was very nice, but the rooms are way too small for the price tag. There is no fridge for cold water, no TV in the room, the hallways smelled like curry, also if you need anything you have to go down to the lobby to get it yourself. For that price tag way overpriced. Also view is great but everyone can see into your room, you can’t enjoy the view and have privacy.

The hospitality here was outstanding! Excellent B&B atmosphere, with a wine hour in the main house as well as evening pastries. Breakfast options were delicious and included some gluten-free options as well. On street parking was easy and scenery beautiful! 10/10 Will definitely stay here again!

Dissapointing
Pros:

Bed is super soft, and my handicap husband and I were given an upstairs room. He had a hard time on the stairs.

No pets allowed with no air conditioning, so we slept with the windows open. Second floor, we didn’t think anything of it, Until our second night I woke up to a cat walking across my legs in bed. Staff said it was the neighbors cat, but gave us no warning that a cat could get into our room (glad my husband did not have an allergic reaction.)

View and locations is amazing, this property is just not for us, I would not visit it again.

We made a last minute reservation and so happy we did. I fell in love with this place from the moment I saw it. The check in was wonderful with a champagne toast to kick us off. Then the room beautiful looking at the magnificent ocean. Cannot wait to go back!

Pros:

It was beautiful, but definitely made for more of just couples and not families despite having two rooms. My kids and I are trying to take a shower at the same time and the hot water ran out very quickly. There were spiders in the rooms, although not much and aside from that, it was very, very clean. Parking was very annoying. There’s only four spaces up at the front and then at the rest is street parking. It is beautiful and peaceful, but do not recommend it for families.
