“This bed and breakfast impressed me with its prime downtown location, a block from the beach and an easy stroll to shops and dining; plus, the Inn Keepers clearly aim for a familial, welcoming atmosphere. I especially appreciate the meticulous renovations of the Victorian architecture, alongside modern comforts like updated bathrooms and high-speed Wi-Fi. It's a great choice for those who want to slow down and be cared for.”
