We enjoyed the property and staff. There is a patio area with tables and chairs, and a fire pit where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful weather while listening to the waves and overlooking the ocean. Loved that this property is dog-friendly, and you can access the beach from it. We took our dogs to enjoy the water and play in the sand.

Beautiful stay in Elk

We had a wonderful stay. Staff was very nice, helpful, relaxed and knowledgeable. They were very enthusiastic. Dinner and breakfast were excellent in a small intimate setting. The hotel is historic and has amazing views, gardens and location in Elk.

Our 2nd trip to this amazing property! Grounds are well maintained and room was clean and very comfortable. Slept like a baby with sliding door open and sound of oceans waves. Had dinner in restaurant and the quality was like a 5 star! Outstanding food! Photos are from our balcony. Breath taking views.

Great for that intimate secluded get a away. Far from hustle bustle of town, left alone while at the Inn. Great private beach access, garden was well kept and food was above standard. Rooms were great but could use minor TLC, poor window function and single ply toilet paper were a couple inconveniences that seemed out of place with the rest of the experience.

Nice B&B with beautiful setting looking out on ocean. Breakfast was great. Dinner was mixed. One appetizer and entree were excellent. The other appetizer and entree were so-so. (Onion soup came with cheese not melted but scorched, and pork entree was overcooked, dry, and tough.). Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Great scenic location!

Property, location and staff are top notch! Our accommodations were a disaster, however, as we reserved the last available room- Swallows Nest- very tiny - an oversized broom closet, but the worst was the bed where the upper half of the mattress sloped down and my spouse and I did not experience a good night’s sleep.
