Rangamarie Beachstay

You'll fall asleep to the sound of waves lapping against the shore at Judy Newell’s B&B; situated above one of the coast’s loveliest golden sand beaches, all rooms have sensational views of the bay and private decks from which to enjoy them. But many come, quite frankly, to enjoy the company of Ms. Newell who is a hostess par extraordinaire, the kind of person who has the gift of making strangers feel like old friends. She presents a feast of a breakfast each morning (included in the cost) and many ask her to prepare dinner, as well, since the hotel is quite remote (this is extra, but certainly worth the cost). Rooms are handsomely outfitted, with beds of a very high quality.
