WE liked the easy access to the harbor. The staff was very helpful and attentive. The continental breakfast was adequate. It just seems a bit over priced for what we got. The room was small, overall fairly well kept (a little run down but not bad (Marks on the walls from furniture being moved is my guess) I do know that SB near the water is premium property and knew that when we booked it. I found that all property in that area was similar in price--hummm wonder about price fixing. Oh well honestly even with these complaints I'd be fine staying there again.

The exterior of the property is beautiful especially at night. The beds were comfy but pillows were pretty flat. Lots ot towels but water pressure was just okay. I did like the ceiling fan in our room and the linens were comfy. However, there was a fake eyelash strip between one of the beds and the nightstand which was unsightly and made us wonder how well the floors had been cleaned. Overall, I would stay again though.

My wife and I stayed at Lavender by the Sea for our anniversary, and it was everything we hoped for! The space is so peaceful, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. The aesthetic is absolutely adorable, with charming decor and a cozy vibe. Our room was spacious, with clean and comfortable beds that made it easy to unwind. The added convenience of a fridge and microwave was perfect for storing snacks and leftovers from nearby spots. The bathroom was spotless, and it was clear that cleanliness is a top priority here. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our experience even better. The location is also fantastic—within walking distance to great restaurants and bars, adding convenience and variety to our stay. The beautiful scenery surrounding the area really made our anniversary feel special. Highly recommend!
