I visited for a stormy off-season weekend, and nearly had the place to myself. The hosts were very welcoming, the (stormy and deserted) beach was very close. Great place, hope to see it some time in sunnier weather.

Stay away, not worth your time and money!
Outdated hotel with old mattress and bed sheets. Hallways had an awful smell. You could hear conversations from the neighboring bedrooms. The very small bedroom was far from being clean: There were spiderwebs on the lamps, hair in the bathroom and soap on the shower curtain. When I told the front desk lady the room wasn't clean, she answered "No, it is clean" ... I didn't even try the included breakfast, served from 8:30 AM, at which time I had already left this filthy hotel

This could be a lovely spot but is very tired. Rooms are extremely small with old curtains etc. so much so that it felt like camping not a hotel. Very clean and a nice backyard area but the whole place has not been updated for decades. Our TV did not work and when reported to staff (who was very nice) they just said property is being sold but didn’t offer any solutions and just said the wifi was working. Could be a lovely spot with total refurbishment but wouldn’t recommend at the moment. Very bare bones.

While the location was great (just a few blocks from the shore), this bed and breakfast stay was only so-so. The room was very small, the bedding had a musty smell, the hot water supply took a while to reach the room, there were no kleenex available, and the breakfast was only a continental (toast, yogurt, etc.). Further, communication with staff was difficult. I did like the use of the kitchen facilities, especially the refrigerator/freezer for storage of cold items, and the availability of hair dryer and glassware.

I never felt unsafe, so there is that. Unfortunately everything in the hotel is very run down, there’s zero sound proofing, the hotel appears to be family run & they don’t seem to have adequate staffing and expertise and everything is done on the cheap and it really shows. The worse part was we get into the bed (for the first time) and we felt sand. I went immediately to the front desk to explain the situation and instead of an apology and a quick fix, I had to convince the worker/owner that I was telling the truth. When she arrived to changed the sheets (with clean but ripped ones) my wife helps her make the bed and she didn’t say sorry, thanks or anything. So much for customer service. If you have options, don’t stay here.

Great stay
This place is a great place to stay for a B&B. Our room was big with 2 queen beds, a full bathroom and a door to lead outside to a huge courtyard/backyard. The backyard had lots of space for seating ,it has a fire pit and bbq. The lobby is very quiet and love the old fashioned furniture with a hint of new stuff. They have a sitting area where you can visit or do work. Attached to that is a nice breakfast area. The breakfast area is set where they could serve a hot breakfast along side the typical cold cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, bananas, and breads. They also had coffee and juice. There was what looked like an old bar which if they sprucced it up and got an liquor license it could bring in more revenue and give the guests a nice relaxing drink. The inn is a 5 min walk to the beach and boat docks. The beds were comfortable and rooms were clean, mind you they could've cleaned under the beds a bit better and night table as we found an entire full sized lemon behind the lamp table lol , gave our family a laugh. All in all , it is a great place to stay and we definitely would consider staying here again.
