The management and staff were quite lovely. We had to leave a day early because of a family issue at a wedding, and I broke down in front of the man there and he was SO KIND! (Which made me cry even more) A lovely location, and we loved the gazebo!

Nice B&B with beautiful setting looking out on ocean. Breakfast was great. Dinner was mixed. One appetizer and entree were excellent. The other appetizer and entree were so-so. (Onion soup came with cheese not melted but scorched, and pork entree was overcooked, dry, and tough.). Staff very friendly and welcoming.

We had a wonderful stay. Staff was very nice, helpful, relaxed and knowledgeable. They were very enthusiastic. Dinner and breakfast were excellent in a small intimate setting. The hotel is historic and has amazing views, gardens and location in Elk.

Great for that intimate secluded get a away. Far from hustle bustle of town, left alone while at the Inn. Great private beach access, garden was well kept and food was above standard. Rooms were great but could use minor TLC, poor window function and single ply toilet paper were a couple inconveniences that seemed out of place with the rest of the experience.

Great scenic location!

Property, location and staff are top notch! Our accommodations were a disaster, however, as we reserved the last available room- Swallows Nest- very tiny - an oversized broom closet, but the worst was the bed where the upper half of the mattress sloped down and my spouse and I did not experience a good night’s sleep.
