The beach house was in an excellent location right across the street from the beach and not too far from downtown. The decor in the room was cute and the beds were comfortable, but the bathrooms do need to be upgraded. Staff were super nice and great coffee and tea station!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The view was great. Lobby area nice. Room was nice size but needed updating. Curtains were torn. Not all the blinds worked. Shower area grout was not clean. Bed on one side was sloping and slanted Pillows were so soft. No other pillow options. Light in entryway to room had no switch. You had to turn it off by undoing the bulb

This is the second time we have stayed at BHI. We absolutely love it. It is clean, warm, and homey. It is the perfect location and makes it easy to get around without being in the middle of hustle and bustle. We also traveled with our two young kids and they loved it as well! Plenty of room for all of us!

The carpet stains in our room were off-putting to begin with. The bathroom could use a bit of a refresh as well.

This property is great! Very clean, and well taken care of. The bed was amazing the the shower was great. It’s a cute room and had everything we needed. The property is across the street from the beach. The parking is great. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area. Staff is helpful d friendly. Offering any extras we may need and a good choice of restaurants near by.

This Inn was lovely. Room was very comfortable with a view of the ocean. Nice linens and bathroom supplies. Accommodating and helpful staff. Carpet in our room had big stains on it which took away from the overall “look”’of the place but it didn’t feel dirty. Not really walking distance to the downtown area but the area was pretty and was a quick drive downtown

Lovely property. Quaint spaces. Room appointments very comfortable and appointed with higher end details. Coffee/tea offerings were disappointing to me — not a fan of “pods”. Inn grounds and public rooms very welcoming.
