It's not just a B&B, but a floating B&B. If you want to be lulled to sleep by the sound of waves lapping and wake up to the cry of seagulls, maybe you should be sleeping on a houseboat. The two contemporary guest rooms are surprisingly spacious, complete with kitchenettes. Hot coffee and fresh pastries are served in your room.
Your hosts, Karen and Jon, also have two 40-plus-ft motor yachts nearby. These luxury liners sleep up to four people in quiet comfort.
