"Staff were wonderful, lovely property, and location is great. Did NOT appreciate being awaken at 8am day of check out, by cleaning staff checking to see if we were still there. Then, another knock at 9:30 by cleaning staff. Check out is 11:00. Staff should check with front desk on who is still there and who has checked out."

"Nice big room with two balconies, pool, two hot tubs, and a big outdoor seating area. Very happy with the facility, but the night check in staff needs customer service training. We had a late check-in at 9 pm, but no one was at the front. It took 15 minutes of our looking for someone to get us checked in even though we had already paid full price online for our room."

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful location and charming setting. Very, very nice management and reception. The old Victorian house hase been renovated a few years ago but is maintaining a good level of refinement. Some of the rooms that look over the Ocean are just amazing! Do not expect too much from breakfast: coffee, a bagel, and some chopped fruit."
