We loved the atmosphere and decor; the exterior design and landscaping was charming, and the interior had interesting local art. Although the inn had a bit of old-time beach feel, it was not kitschy. We also appreciated the club room with its early evening refreshments (social hour); we chatted with several other guests. I believe this "happy hour" would have either not existed or would have been totally different if had there been guests with children. Breakfast was lovely - made to order. We walked to shops and restaurants in minutes. I loved that our room had a functioning fireplace and a deep tub with jets. Unfortunately, we did not have time to indulge in any of the spa offerings, but we did check it out, and it seemed very nice. We are considering returning to the area for whale watching and will stay at Crowne Pointe again.
