The rooi felt itself was very outdated but clean. The steps to our room were dangerous and definitely needed maintenance- no lighting on them whatsoever.

Beautiful location. Wonderful to have a direct walk out. The room was not up to code, the bathroom was not clean with mold in the tub. Unfortunately, not well maintained. Tons of potential but, past its prime.

The hostesses were very friendly. The room was small, but we were with family in town most of the time, so it was fine for sleeping. The location on the water was great! There was a tapping in the ceiling and wall at night (pipes?), which would have interfered with sleep, but the room and mattress were very comfortable, so we slept well. The area is quiet, free from traffic noise. We'll definitely stay there again!

The room had a fairly strong unpleasant odor. The sheets were questionable. The host was very nice and friendly. Maybe they are short staffed. I wish I could say it was great because so many of the small places are struggling. But for the price it should have been much cleaner. It was very peaceful and on the water. The free breakfast was also lacking. The pastries seemed like they had been around for a while too long. I hope they are able to make some small improvements and be successful.
Pretty sunset on the bay.

I would not stay here gain

The room was small and musty smell. The carpet was damp and it was not as pictured on their website. We had people on the porch outside our unit who drank and talked and laughed well pat 11 p.m. and we could hear them which kept us awake. There were no coffee filters and the kitchen was not well stocked The price was way too much for the quality
