Nikki is a wonderful host who welcomed us and made us feel like family. We stayed for 11 days and felt right at home. Clean linens and towels. Excellent staff and breakfast. We would highly recommend and would return again!! Bella was an added bonus, who walked with us to the beach. Gated, secure and safe!!

Peaceful and Relaxing
Nikki’s bed and breakfast is calm and peaceful. I loved our bungalow and enjoyed our time in the pool. Very relaxing and since I’m from the surrounding areas we never did enjoy a breakfast there. I found it a bit pricey but if you are new to the area and scared to travel then it’s appropriately priced. I’d love to return here

Excellent place to go !!
We spend a week in the "Garden by the Sea" bed and breakfast place. It is an excellent place to rest or as we did to use as place to move around visiting different locations in RD. Breakfast is very good, owner and staff are always ready to help you. It is just one block from a quiet beach, and 15-20 minutes away by car of more crowded but beautiful beaches.

Peaceful and private ❤️
Super relaxing. Super fun. This is definitely a nice location ,if you did wanna bring your family with your kids you can. It’s about 25 minutes from the airport with traffic. Definitely close not too far from a big city, but not exactly where everything is super close, but there is a nice little private beach walking distance from this day and I think that is very great for people who are not interested in traveling the town, Nikki is super sweet, super attentive and is extremely helpful . it definitely is a little paradise away from all the chaotic that you may get from being at a resort for that I chose this place for me and my fiancé. We had a nice reasonable extremely accommodating stay while we adventured out for most of our days. The local security is also extremely nice. Everyone in the area is super welcoming. If you stay here, I would definitely recommend a vehicle just in case you need a late night drink or something you’re able to hit the stores earlier in the day. Awesome stay!

Host is very nice.but didn't like that this small B@Bl is in an isolated place , nothing to do in or around hotel.. too boring. I was taken to see my room and I left to my car and did not return. even though I didn't stay not even 1 night I didn't care to lose the $414 that I paid. they have a no refund policy.if you want to have fun don't stay here,if you want peace and quiet stay here.

Hostess was very friendly and the property was very clean. Water pressure was a little low and the water was not quite hot but doable. I did not like being woke up every morning at 730 to the barking dog that stayed on the property but this was an amazing stay with excellent value. Positives out weigh any negatives. This property is definitely a repeat stay
