This was our first experience staying at a Bed and Breakfast. We hit the jackpot. Rick provided incredible breakfast. Sharon has done a wonderful job decorating. It was such a relaxing environment. Perfect proximity to the beach. We really enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Just what we were looking for. Thank you Rick and Sharon.

Rich and Sharon were attentive, warm and personable hosts. They made it clear in every way that they love being hosts through creating a lovely ambience for their guests, through serving creative and memorable breakfasts for their guests, and finally through engaging conversation. The house itself is beautiful, nestled in a quiet neighborhood that is minutes away from the beach!

Hidden Gem

Sharon and Rich were amazing, the establishment had a family feel. Breakfast was awesome, everyday was a different chef specialty from chef ( Rich ) . Just a 3 min walk to the beach and restaurants. They also have bikes, coolers, beach umbrellas chairs, beach wagons that make easy for everyone’s comfort.

This is a hidden gem from a bygone era. One doesn’t go to a bed and breakfast simply for a place to stay for a few nights and, oh, they serve breakfast also like every other hotel. No, you go to a bed and breakfast for the experience of unwinding and meeting no people. The caretakers here are wonderful in every sense of the word. The breakfast is simply amazing and is a fantastic way to start your day. I got a massage at the spa, which I should have done sooner. Everyone always say their massage was great but was amazing. This was exactly what I was looking to do to get away for the weekend. RELAX.
