Our stay started out disappointing, but was rescued by moving to a different room in a better location. Overall we enjoy
Pros:

I liked that the property was right on the beach and had free parking.

Cons:

The one bedroom suite that we booked had been, for the most part updated. The part that we didn’t like was the sofa was extremely dirty and smelled bad which in turn made the whole unit smell. Also, the carpet in the bedroom desperately needed replacing and I’m sure it contributed to the smell as well. Another thing we didn’t like was that there were no windows in the bedroom and the living room had only two hexagonal porthole style windows with translucent panes that let in very little light. It’s not worth the price due to its limitations - no functional windows and dirty, smelly, furniture and carpet.

My husband and I spent one night in it since we got in late and were very tired from traveling. When we brought it to the attention of the front desk, we were immediately moved to a different room with a balcony and a view of the ocean which salvaged our stay as we were there celebrating our anniversary.

These are photos from our upgraded room.

Not Recommended
Pros:

Staff & maintenance man, Thomas were extremely helpful & friendly!
Location & beachfront access ‼️

Cons:

Stench in room, no place to hang our clothing, dirty sheets, parking is minimal & not much room for automobiles to maneuver around getting in & out of parking structure.
Seriously needs to update & modernize garden view bed & breakfast accommodations!

It was an excellent experience except for the noisy overhead foot traffic in the morning.
Pros:

Location was exactly what we wanted...North Beach and just steps from the ocean. Room was nice, clean and comfortable. Staff was efficient and friendly. Price was fair for the accommodations.

Cons:

Too much overhead foot traffic in the morning. I wouldn't recommend "North" apartment for this reason. I think it is directly under the dining room and kitchen of the B&B upstairs. Very annoying if you want to sleep in.
