Summary: Far exceeded our expectations and hopes. We were welcomed by the owner who gave us a tour, oriented us to the Inn and community, showed us the amenities, which included bikes for getting around with lots of biking lanes on the Island. Also the amenities included everything for the beach-beach cart, chairs, umbrellas, towels, shell hunting equipment and bucket with a sink for cleaning the treasures, outdoor heated showers, table and chairs on the partially enclosed porch outside your door for eating, hammock and bench swing every few cottages for relaxing. Quiet, within two blocks of both bay and the gulf with white sand beaches… beautiful. Set within trees with designated parking place for each room. Our room which was one of the smaller ones, was great for my wife and I, with a fridge, microwave and dishes. Restaurants right across the street and next door, with a couple of stores within walking or riding distance, even some grocery stores a short ride down the street. We will be back!
