Cool little place
We loved it. Ocean beach facing (across a road and walking path) and walking distance from restaurants. We took the ferry across to walk the cliffs and visit more beaches.

Blue Marlin review
Wonderful location close to town and across the street from the beach. There is parking for one car per unit. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. They do have a short check in window but they were able to leave us our key for a check in. The kitchenette consisted of a microwave and refrigerator, but no stove top. The room did get a bit bright in the morning as there were no blackout curtains over the window above the bed. Limited bathroom amenities, just body wash, shampoo and moisturizer in the shower, and nothing by the sink. The upstairs room was quiet. The room was extremely clean.
