Pros:

Location

Cons:

They had no gluten free options. When asked we were told a choice of fruit would be an option for breakfast. However when we asked the staff member had no idea what gluten allergy was. An pointed to the sliced oranges as a fruit option. Disappointed!

Great place to stay a night or two with great beach access.
Pros:

Great location. Private Beach access to an off the beaten path Beach. Bikes available for use. Coffee and muffins at check in. Room is large with two sink areas and good mirrors for a couple in the morning. Would go again.

Cons:

Beds were overly soft. Probably need to be replaced. Better than overly firm.

Very happy with the inn and would highly recommend to family and friends
Pros:

The Breakfast was perfect the cleanliness of the rooms was supreme and having coffee/tea etc until 8:30 at night was great and the beach close

Cons:

The breakfast restaurant was too hot to eat breakfast in a few tables outside on the left side facing the inn would be great to eat your breakfast at and maybe beach chairs that were a little higher to sit in
