Very cute and convenient!

Stayed in the Sea Witch for a 25th anniversary getaway. It's a very cute space on the second floor with a great reading nook. It was a pleasant walk (~15min) into the downtown area for shopping and dinner. Owner was very responsible and flexible with our plans. Getty Bagels is 50 yards away and a great option to get a coffee and something to eat in the morning. We would definitely come back.

This is a very unusual place! It must have been a home at some point and has been changed to simply bedrooms. Our room was beautiful and well appointed. But there is no lobby, front desk, etc. You simply get a code to get into the building and into your room. It's a little strange but it was fun to try something different.
