“This inn struck me as a particularly good choice for families or couples, with multiple-building layout creating a cozy atmosphere. I appreciate the option of dog-friendly rooms and the thoughtfulness of private patios to enjoy the ocean views. Concierge service seemed genuinely helpful for planning local activities, adding to the appeal.”
