- "It was so nice being in area with local stores and water views ." - "We have stayed at this property twice.We travel 13 hours each way to see our grandchildren about every 3 months.This area is a perfect location.Shops and restaurants are walkable as it is in the historic downtown area.It is also right across from the water front.The absolute only draw back for someone would be the walk up the stairs.We don’t mind it however.The other is the mattress is a memory foam,and lends no support for anyone with the slightest back isssue. I gave 5 stars because neither of these things outweigh the positives with this property!"
