The Inn was located near the center of Cow Bay. It was a short walk down the beach to several eateries. Being right on the water is very nice and there is a nice little balcony that looks over the bay. Having morning coffee watching the sunrise is a super experience. Just a nice place to stay and I will go there again. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Free cold bottled water is available too!
