Cypress Inn On Miramar Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Right on the beach with pacific ocean views and access to a wonderful seaside walking/bicycling path. Amazing sunsets and quiet and access to some casual seaside restaurants. Friendly staff and a cozy, albeit small room. But perfect for the stay i wanted and the amount of luggage i was travelling with :)"

Nantucket Whale Inn

10/10 Excellent

"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!"
