We've stayed here a couple of times and absolutely love it! Its a short walk (or bike ride) to Beaufort Cafe, and to all of the shops on Front St. To me, its the best place to stay.

We were floored when we got there. Pictures were good ahead of time, but in person, fantastic. Very clean and very well laid out. Parking very accessible. Host was very responsive with questions I had before booking, but then after booking, lots of info about things to see, best places to see beautiful sunsets. My wife had passed away in March and she wanted me to take her sister on vacation. My wife would have loved this place. I I come back, dot have to search for places, know exactly where I'm going. Thanks for everything. Snake and Debbie
