“I particularly appreciate the property's commitment to creating a welcoming, almost familial atmosphere; the shared spaces seem designed to encourage interaction among guests. The sea glass parking area is a clever detail, and the inclusion of a fire pit enhances the inn's coziness. What struck me most was the staff's eagerness to ensure every guest feels truly at home.”
