Customer Reviews
The location is excellent, with easy walking access to all downtown activities including shops, restaurants, tours, and the harbor. The Victorian-era home is charming and full of character, though the heron motif was a bit overdone. The wraparound porch was a lovely place to relax after a day of sightseeing, and the inviting backyard offered a peaceful spot to enjoy breakfast (if even offered) or unwind poolside. The first-floor room (The Heron) was very convenient, especially for avoiding stairs with luggage, and despite its proximity to the kitchen, we did not hear any kitchen noise. The remodeled bathroom was attractive but lacked some practical conveniences such as towel or clothing hooks, shower safety bar, and shelving for toiletries. Breakfast was delicious but not very abundant.
This B&B is well kept and convenient to the downtown area. Susan, the Manager, was pleasant, helpful and prepared wonderful breakfasts. There is a pool, which was very nice, but during our stay the weather was not warm enough to use it. However, the rocking chairs on the front porch got lots of use from us.We stayed in the only room on the first floor and would highly recommend it as it has a beautiful bathroom with a large walk-in shower, is convenient to the back door for loading and unloading the car, and has a king-size bed. There were only two negatives: 1. you have to like blue herons, as the blue heron decor is everywhere and a bit overdone; and 2. The TV system is terrible...very difficult to find anything you're interested in seeing. The price was reasonable and slightly
We stayed at the Inn for one night to check out the area while on our way to board a cruise. The Inn is nicely situated in town and the wrap around porch was beautiful. We stayed in the room on the first floor which was great as we didn't have to deal with luggage and stairs, however, I have very good hearing and could hear everything that was going on in the laundry room and the kitchen while I was getting ready in the morning. There is no place to put toiletries in that bathroom, so possibly adding something would be helpful for future guests. Otherwise, it was clean and Susan, yet chatty, was nice and we enjoyed meeting her dog.
First off let me say that I have stayed in this inn several times while under the ownership of someone else. Julie and David were amazing hosts who payed attention to their guests needs and wants. Not the case under new management. Our party felt like we were rushing our hostess the entire time we were there. Never in all of my years staying in B&Bs have I had my breakfast on the table prior to seating! Sunday morning we were left so she could get to church, ok, but this is a big part of what your guests are paying for. The rooms are not as accommodating as could be either. No place for toiletries in several of the bathrooms. Sign in the front yard of the Inn says it all, by 2 nights get 3rd free!
I couldn’t disagree more with the previous written negative. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The innkeeper, Susan, was gracious, attentive, and added to the charm of the stay. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order. The hospitality felt genuine, and it created a warm, inviting atmosphere. The breakfast was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and far better than anything you’d get at a standard chain hotel. This inn has its own special character that makes it stand out. I would absolutely recommend staying here and look forward to coming back on future trips.
