We loved our stay. Everyone was so kind especially the girl who worked so hard from check in and out serving breakfast cleaning table’s getting us ice. I wish I knew her name. She is a great employee and kind person. She deserves every cent of her pay plus way more. Breakfast’s were delicious. Short walk to the ocean. A very much needed getaway! Thank you for everything!

Room 21 was unimpressive. Upon entering, we saw that all table lamp shades were crooked and the room temperature was very cold. Not a good first impression. After settling in, found that the wind rattled the door (remedied with a washcloth placed in door jamb) and the bed was really uncomfortable and noisy. There were other notables (iron, ironing board, and shower curtain liner should be replaced and the refrigerator needs to be secured). The FCI is a jewel that, given attention to the details, would absolutely sparkle.
