"It is a quaint little inn that is in a nice area, close to restaurants and the ocean. The room was charming with a comfortable bed, the only downside is the bathroom was very small. The host was very helpful with our later arrival, leaving a lock box on the door with a key to our room. I would recommend this if your are in the area."
