We had a wonderful stay in one of the queen attic rooms. It was cozy and romantic and looks just like the pictures. They had complentary cans of soda, water, and coffee. The parking lot is pretty small, and the parking spots even smaller. There also is no elevator. So if stairs are a problem I would recommend getting a suite on the ground level.

Beautiful home and beautiful room (5)! I was really really really happy to have found a room with a lovely jacuzzi tub! It feels like bathtubs are becoming a luxury of the past since most places are renovating for showers only. That tub was my ocean away from the ocean when the temperature dropped! It made my birthday trip even more special :) thank you!
