A wonderful stay
We enjoyed a one night stay at this beautiful Inn. The staff were great and welcoming. The room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was eggs with avocado toast and it was delicious. A short drive to downtown Canal Street and Flagler Beach. Highly recommend staying here.

Poor breakfast.
The breakfast portions are extremely small. The hosts do not even offer to give more.

Our room was nicely decorated and roomy. Our room had a balcony that faced the water so we sat and had our coffee there in the morning, which was so nice! The hosts thought of eveything! I would def stay here again.

Stunning property. A real gem of a hotel. Lots of outside areas to sit and relax with beautiful views. Breakfast is served in the rooms which was a wonderful surprise but if you don’t want to eat in your room you can take your breakfast to the gardens. A very relaxed atmosphere.
