Pros:

I thought I would be staying directly across the street from the beach but we were given a room a half mile away from the main Inn that we had to drive around in circles to find it. Other than the location, the room was beautiful and having a bar and restaurant downstairs was nice. Our bathroom was as large as the room itself. Having a coffee station with water 24/7 was a plus. The area is beautiful and the breakfast at the main inn is top notch.

Pros:

My son had his wedding there on Sunday. I chose this location because it was exactly what they wanted: an ocean view, outdoors, quiet, and not over the top. It allowed the families of the bride and groom to meet and spend some quality time together. The setting was beautiful and charming, with its heritage buildings adding a special touch.

Pros:

We are in our 80s. Bathrooms should have raised toilets and a bar next to the toilet to help the resident get up.

The restaurant food was good. breakfast was good.

Pros:

The location is lovely and the views of the water were amazing. The room itself was small (queen bed, small square footage, door couldn't open al the way due to AC unit) and dingy (old carpet, carpet had stains, etc). The overall space (hallways, dining room, etc.) felt old without any charm.

Pros:

This was an amazing place to stay. The breakfast was good and the view from our room of the ocean was beautiful. The grounds were beautiful as well.
The parking was a little tight at our house but we all made it
Its a old home restored and beautiful. The huge tub in our room was wonderful after a long day.
The staff could not have been more friendlier.

We stayed at YHI for a wedding venue and it didn’t disappoint. Very beautiful park ceremony followed by a reception and dance in the ballroom that was fantastic. Would definitely recommend staying at this Inn in the future.
