10/10 Exceptional

Great accommodations! The Inn was super clean, all staff were friendly and helpful, location is superb. We walked to shops and restaurants with ease. There is a great surf shop across the street and highly recommend hitting Helena Street Bakery (we went 4X)! We didn't swim in the pool but the hot tub was great. We received a complimentary bottle of wine at check-in and appreciated the corkscrew in the room. We enjoyed a sip on the balcony. Bathroom has separate toilet room which is helpful for families. There was a generous tub and separate shower with ample towels for all. Highly recommend! No changes... except perhaps better pillows.
