"Wasn’t aware there was no elevator in the building we stayed in. Not a problem because we’re able bodied, but we got in so late (10p) and I wasn’t expecting to lug our stuff up one flight of stairs. Otherwise a beautiful property in a beautiful location. Right across the street from the beach, and a small street at that. The fireplace and location was what made me book here and I wasn’t disappointed. I love gas fireplaces in a hotel room. Somewhat overly large bathroom with a bench seat in the window. The sunken living room area was nice, the couch was hard as a brick and a fold out bed that we didn’t use. The TV was odd, but I think that’s just their cable provider. We travel with an Apple TV and the secondary hdmi ports could not be accessed with the remote so we had to unplug the main hdmi but that’s not really a problem. Parking was slightly awkward, but there were spots available even at our late arrival. Did not partake in their continental breakfast but it is nice that it’s available. Loved the area and would definitely stay here or at a few of the other lovely seeming properties on this stretch of beach. Balcony was a good size and the view from our room was fantastic. The blackout curtains aren’t on all windows so even when the two windows were blacked out it was still fairly bright after sunup. The downtown, just a short drive away. It was very cute and offered many options for food or drink, and very walkable."
