The Inn at East Beach

10/10 Excellent
"This location has character. Immediately I thought of a 1950's scene from a movie where the pool is basically the center point of the hotel. Upon review this hotel opened in 1950. We arrived way before check in. Wanted to see if we could park and maybe have access to the pool. The front desk clerk, Chris, was very helpful. There was a room ready and he checked us in. It was a fun impromptu stay."

Steps to the Sand: Enjoy beach views & a private fenced yard. Great for families

10/10 Excellent
"The location was perfect and the home was cozy and charming. Having dedicated parking was a huge bonus. We were there in a heatwave and David, the host, made sure we had fans to cool the back bedrooms where the AC could not reach. No controlling weather, but he did go out of his way to keep us comfortable. We would definitely come back."
