“The beachfront location and direct beach access truly stand out. The apartment-style rooms, many with screened lanais facing the Gulf, provide a peaceful retreat, and the friendly staff clearly aims to make every stay special. Even with ongoing post-hurricane recovery, the Inn offers a particularly welcoming and comfortable experience.”
