"This pet friendly hotel is charming. Friendly staff and also virtual staff for check in/out. We enjoyed the Cameron’s Pub next door for a bowl of steaming chowder after a long day at the beach.

"This was such a wonderfully quaint B&B. I really loved the quiet area and we walked to everything we needed. We rented the Greatpoint room which was wonderful. Just be aware the bathtub was a clawfoot large tub and it was hard to get in and out of if you are an older person, my husband had to help me in and out. The whole area and stay was great!"

"I am a grandmother who stayed with my children and grandchildren at this beautiful house for three days over the Labor Day weekend. We all were delighted with this gorgeous and charming house from the minute we arrived. Every room was immaculate and comfortable, and the lovely kitchen had every thing we needed. The host was very friendly and helpful, and the parking was very convenient. The house is located in a lovely, gated neighborhood, not far from the beach, the Redwood State Park and great restaurants. We cannot wait to return for another family vacation."
