“Bayside Guest House strikes me as a properly local experience. The owner's touch seems to add a genuine warmth, while the location, a stone's throw from the beach and town, is a real plus. I think the addition of microwaves and fridges in the rooms is a thoughtful touch, making it ideal for families or those wanting a bit more flexibility.”

The room was clean and cozy. It had a microwave and a quality fridge. The bed and pillows was also good.
It had too many stairs. This place is not good for people with disabilities. The shower also took a long time to heat up and was a bit weak.
