Our stay at the West Wind Inn was truly unforgettable! The ocean-front room gave us the view we had dreamt of, and we loved the clean and comfortable atmosphere throughout the property. The vibe was wonderfully relaxed, perfect for our getaway. While the bathroom was a bit cramped, it didn’t detract too much from our overall experience, but it would have been ideal to have a bit more space. The service was exceptional; we felt welcomed and enjoyed small touches like the dessert for our anniversary. Overall, I’d highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a tranquil beach escape.
