The property is beautifully situated on the hill overlooking the bay. I enjoyed sitting on our patio and taking in the views. The landscaping could be trimmed back to maximize the view. Room was comfortable, could use some paint touch-up. Only major issue we discovered in the morning was the lock to the patio didn’t work at all.

The room was very nice and large. Nice a quiet area, where you can see the Bay, hear the birds, and hear the signal of the bay. Food was very good at the Tides restaurant also. The fireplace in the room, is a true gas fireplace with flame. Beautiful grounds to walk around, with a lovely health center.

Lovely property with beautiful Landscaping. Nice pool and hot tub area. Very walkable but on a steep hill, so some may find that challenging. Enjoyed a delicious dinner and breakfast at Tides.which is just across the street. Not really walkable to the town. Restaurant has a bakery that offers gorgeous pastries, but we didnt try them.
