We scheduled this trip last minute and had very few choices in our price range. I was skeptical, but decided to book with John Yancey. I am so glad we made this choice! The room was nice and clean....probably the best I have ever slept away from home! It was close to restaurants and of course, a quick walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our trip.....I will definitely stay here again! Thanks!

The people at the front desk were very friendly, knowledgeable, and very nice. The room was very nice except for the bedspread had hair left on it upon going to the front desk. They immediately jumped into action and changed the sheets again again and apologized up-and-down overall is was a good trip And we will be booking with them again
