Waterside Inn Review
Palm trees, sea-grape trees, pastel cottages, and white sand set the scene at this quiet beachside vacation spot. Rooms and efficiencies in the main building are modestly furnished, with bright cobalt-blue-and-white interiors, and have balconies or patios and a partial of the gulf. Single-story cottages are named for fruits—apricot, kiwi, raspberry, and so on—and are painted appropriately on the outside.
