High Tide Inn

"We spent two nights at High Tide Inn. We stayed on the second floor of the main building. The Inn is really quaint with beautiful views and just enough amenities. Our room did not have TV which was fine with us . I don’t know if the individual cottages do. There was however no Kleenex in the room which we needed. Breakfast was good although I didn’t realize I could get eggs until the second day. Holly was on her own but did an over the top job of keeping all the patrons happy. She recommended an Italian restaurant to us that was great the Port of Italy. I would go back again and maybe try a cottage next time."
