Inn By The Harbor

Inn By The Harbor

6/10 Okay
"The online pictures made it look really nice, but when we got there, we realized that it was older and the rooms were small and needed updating. We had a nice view of the courtyard out of our front door, but the back window faced a dirty broken down fence with weeds. It was about a 20 minute walk to the beach."
