Great spot

"I arrived after dark and was happy to have a clean quiet room, and in hotel restaurant. The bar was quiet and not staffed, given this was off season this was staffed lighter than may have been during busier times of the year. Light renovations were ongoing to improve the building non impacted me. Wish I had arrived in day light to better know my surroundings. Great location near the beach and beach restaurant. Pool overlooking the ocean was nice, too windy to enjoy. The food at dinner and breakfast was good and room comfortable. Staff was great to coordinate airport pickup/dropoff. "

5/5 Excellent

"This hotel is absolutely GORGEOUS! Every detail is solidly and thoughtfully constructed, from the chair rail lining the hallway to the sliding bathroom door. But form without function is of little value, and the staff brings the function in spades. Everyone we met went out of their way to answer our questions. Special shout out to Reginald at the concierge desk-he was kind, knowledgeable and generous with his time and helped us to book an amazing outing! He knows the area and the hotel inside out and made our stay even better. The property is located across from the beach-it’s an easy 5 minute walk to the water and the pier as well. There are many restaurants adjacent-don’t skip Hello Beach! for some truly delicious food. There are also several restaurants and bars within the property, and a gorgeous indoor pool plus a stunning outdoor pool as well. We will definitely be back!"

A Wonderful Stay

" We recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely bed and breakfast,when we came to PE for Ironman 2025, and we can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel at home. Christopher, the host, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect – nothing was too much trouble for him! Christopher crafts a delicious breakfast spread that caters to all tastes, making sure everyone starts the day off right. You must try his home made musilie! The room was incredibly spacious, allowing for plenty of room to unwind after Ironman. There is ample storage – ideal for unpacking and making it feel like our own space. The good shower was a highlight; its powerful spray felt amazing after a long day. The common areas were beautifully designed and very inviting, and the pool area was a delightful bonus, offering a tranquil spot to soak up the sun and relax. Overall, our experience at this B&B was fantastic, and I cannot thank Christopher enough for his outstanding hospitality. If you're looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay, this is definitely it! I can’t wait to return!"
