This is a must book bed and breakfast. The staff is amazing. Rooms are cozy and welcoming. We had a private balcony which was nice. With rocking chairs and a bench. The breakfast was fantastic. We are already planning when we can return. Best part walking distance to the fun but quiet area.

The wallpaper was peeling off the walls. The one staff member we met was very nice and then she disappeared for the rest of the day and night we could not reach anyone else even though we left a message at the front desk. We could not adjust the air conditioning which was way too cold. The TV volume was set way too high and we couldn't adjust that so couldn't watch TV either.

A really cute and cozy bed and breakfast! Everything was perfect. Staff was great and the room was super clean and comfortable. I heard a little boy and girl ghost, but it didn't keep me from sleeping.

Breakfast was awesome. The new owners seem very likeable, very helpful and courteous. I have a great outlook for their future and for the property. The property was in need of some regular maintenance, but the new owners were already very busy on this very thing. The air conditioning was not quite keeping up with the humidity, but with the ceiling fan the room was comfortable.

We love old world style of the home! We brought our 11 year old granddaughter and she loved it too! Breakfast was simple and yet perfect for us! Loved the little dining area! Loose spindle on the stairway to the attic room. Made me nervous.

Ellie welcomed us warmly and efficiently. We stayed in "Penny's Attic" so it was perfectly situated for my daughter and her husband in the main room and me in the alcove. We even had the top floor deck all to ourselves - beautiful sea breeze was felt even if we couldn't see the ocean. Close walking distance to restaurants, bars and shopping. Breakfast was beautifully prepared and served. The only constructive criticism is the bed in the alcove is terribly hard and really uncomfortable. They really need to do something to change that asap.

Very good

The location - breakfast was good but starts too late and for only one hour should start at 7:30 - 9:30. There is a lot to visit - Happy there was parking - I understand they want to keep the rooms vintage but the Catherine is tini and overcrowded no space to put 2 luggages - The Powder table and seat take too much space for just show, could be replacez by an old looking bench to be able to put luggage on it / we had to put luggage on sofa and only had one seat to Watch TV! The other had to lay on bed to watch TV - not comfortable. the bathroom was very nice, We know they just bought the property and have a lot of renovation inside and OUTSIDE. But they have to keep in mind a room for 2 people needs luggage space for 2. The outside rails are 4x4 and it is hard for elders to grasp them - they should add round rails to the 4x4 for security. No one stays overnight for SECURITY in case someone forgets key or combination etc (it happened to a party and we could not help because our entrance was different than main house. We enjoyed the porch . The A/C is controlled by main house and it was very cold 72 degrees no individual settings . Fan and blinds need dusting . Need a small ice making machine for at least their 10-12 units . Good luck to the new owners they seemed very ready to invest Read above statement

Central location to the historical district, safe parking and lodging. Nice breakfast, clean room. Happened to book during new owner transition and was met with a mountain of debris (from renovations in progress) as we entered parkin area. Outside was pretty dilapidated and felt very neglected. This is NOT a reflection on the owner, Daniel, who was very nice and eager to please. My thought was they weren't quite ready for prime time. Better to put off bookings until the facility was renovated and could make a better impression. Intend to return in 6-8 months to see the difference.
