Staying at Anchor Inn was a delightful experience. the private beach with kayaks exceeded our expectations. the property's lovely atmosphere and attention to detail created a welcoming environment. the memory foam mattress was incredibly comfortable, and the nautical theme added a special touch. the giant TV was a hit with the kids, making our stay even more enjoyable.

No stirrers for coffee. Limited TV channels.

The bed and pillows were super comfy, and the shower was always warm and clean. the nautical theme really fit the location, and the self, serve coffee maker in the room was a nice touch. I loved how cozy but not crowded the room felt, perfect for 1, 2 people. Plus, having a private beach with kayaks was such a cool surprise!

It would have been nice to have more than 2 mugs in the room and a kitchen trash can. Safety, wise, the lack of a deadbolt on the doors was a concern.
