Our stay at Little River Inn was truly magical. The beautiful ocean views from our room were incredible, and the setting felt peaceful and secluded, making it a perfect romantic getaway. While we loved the attentive self-service and enjoyed the delicious food, we noticed that the rooms, although charming, had a bit of age to them, which some may find less appealing. Despite this, we left feeling refreshed and eager to return.
