Breakfast was great. The rooms were nice with heated towels & floor. Nice ocean view. The owners just need to add the dining hours to the website for people getting in late or leaving early.

What lovely hosts who accommodated our 5am arrival and gave us an undisturbed later check out. This made a huge difference having a delay in our arrival and a long flight. The accommodations were clean, quiet and very comfortable. Thank you
