"A quaint hotel right smack dab in the middle of town…the free taxi to Shadowbrook was a plus! We walked everywhere which we appreciated as we enjoy a cocktail every now and then."

Monarch Cove Inn

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."
