RumFish Beach at TradeWinds
Nice room and the staff was wonderful. Every worker that passed you said hello, asked how is your stay, or do you need anything? 10 out of 10. Right on the beach and the grounds were beautiful and very well kept. Definitely recommend

Carlisle Inn
Room was large and spotless. Bonus walk in closet which also had a sink and counter. Could be used for a portable crib, as it had a pocket door. Hallways are wider than any other hotel that I have been in.
