Quirky beachside stay.

Liked:Checked in early so appreciate the accommodation. The location is great if you want easy access to the beach. The grounds are really pretty with lots of flowers and fire pits aglow at night. It has Spanish decor. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was great. Parking is also included. We also enjoyed the patio with our room- it helped balance the small room. There is coffee and pastry served in the morning.

Disliked:It’s a motel like property so understand that. The room was very well air conditioned. Almost too cold. Our lights flickered so might be a short. Security entered our room late at night unannounced. They were attempting to help an adjacent guest that lost their key and they entered the wrong room. This could have ended badly. The bed takes up a lot of the room so there is minimal room to move around.

Charming place with fantastic ocean views

Liked:This is a lovingly cared for historic building in just about the best location. Our room was small but so full of charm and character, for example the gorgeous tile mosaic in the shower stall. The staff were delightful and the property has several welcoming public areas.

Disliked:There were some minor mechanical noises and every once in a while we heard a train, but if I had a pair of earplugs I wouldn’t have noticed anything.
