Reviewer Comments:
The Barnacle is a lovely beach cottage with excellent mattresses in all rooms. Each room is thoughtfully supplied and nicely decorated. The internet is strong and there’s cable tv. The cottage is beach front with a short stroll to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. Only slight criticism is that the cottage is directly off the main highway so there’s some road noise but at night there’s very little traffic. You can’t go wrong renting this cottage.
