    We ended up being put in a room at Villa Rosa-right next door (sister hotel?). Beautiful room, beautiful hotel with gorgeous antiques in the lobby and throughout the building. Melodie at the front desk was awesome. Both hotels are across the street from the beach and a quick walk to State Street.

    We loved the place. It feels like a luxurious home and right on the seaside! The staff are super friendly and ready to help. We stayed almost a week altogether and it really felt like home away from Home. This is a keeper for my trips to SB.

    My daughter liked the breakfast items. I noted they were all gone by 8:30 though most days. Location best reason to stay here. My second reserved room ended up at the “villa” across the street. Nice amount is space and perk of separate sitting room .

    Great location to the beach! We loved our unit at the Tide Pool Villas because of the kitchenette and fridge. The staff is great and accommodating. The coffee is good and they have a simple breakfast.
