This was such a homey, beautiful, peaceful place to stay and the cleanest place I have ever stayed in my life. I cannot say enough good things about the rooms, the cleanliness, the kindness, the 24/7 available coffee/tea/snacks/breakfast, and quick service. We stayed in the King Jacuzzi Room with a balcony, which I suggest, where you can see the Ocean and the in itself and general area is quiet and you cannot hear anything from other rooms or even outside. It was sad when we had to check out because it truly felt comfortable here and that is rare anywhere. If I could give this 10 stars, I would.

Rheas Inn by the Sea was immaculate and cozy. Our room had a wonderful view of the ocean and perfect size deck. The king size bed was really comfortable too. And we also loved the two person jacuzzi. The endless snacks, coffee, breakfast treats and cookies were also wonderful treats. And Tony is The Best!!! See you next year…Mike and Michele

Honeymooned here. What a fantastic little spot. Affordable, wonderfully located. The entire building was sparkling clean which is a big deal to me and my wife. Comfy beds, kind and attentive service, and the good coffee for breakfast were all big pluses as well. Would definitely recommend getting a room with a jacuzzi!

I have toured the inside of this hotel. It is beautiful! It's clean, smells nice and the owner is friendly. I have driven by it for years and just never took the time to check it out. Glad I did. Highly recommend!

Welcoming employees, great location, affordable, and clean cozy rooms. There was also a very generous array of snacks - which were perfect since we had races on Saturday. What a find! We're hoping to return in the fall.
