A perfect weekend getaway

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Hey Betty Inn. Jeff was always available for any questions we had. We were actually able to check in early and begin the fun! The location is great for families. We walked to the beach, played games in the yard and enjoyed the fire pit at night. Definitely will return! Thanks so much for hosting our family get together

Family Christmas Vacation

The large rooms, open concept and fireplace gave the home a very warm and inviting feeling and it had great ambiance. Kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities for cooking big meals and the large kitchen table was great as well for lovely dinners and board game nights! :)

Wonderful Memories made at Hey Betty!

The appearance of this cottage exceeded our expectations and the layout allowed for privacy for me and my family in various areas throughout the cottage. A gorgeous spacious lanai as well as a couple comfortable sitting areas and a nice open concept kitchen. This is a perfect space for re connecting with friends and family. It was a short ride to the Private beach which is beautiful and not at all busy. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a getaway at any time of year.

The perfect beach home

I went to visit Port Franks with friends and we found this idyllic home near the beach. The decoration was welcoming and in every corner there was an easter egg that showed personality and whimsy. This place is truly a home away from home and even though the weather was not the best this place made the trip worthwhile with all their games, amenities, and features. Callandra, Jeff, and Betty have made a place that you will leave with a smile and will want to remodel your own home to recreate such a delightful environment. Will definitely come back!
