Our stay in room 321 was a great experience... just too short!! The balcony with an ocean view was so relaxing... also enjoyed the short walk to the water. The room was spotless, lovely coastal colors.. And the staff was very helpful and courteous.

We had a wonderful off-season Christmas getaway at the John Yancey Inn! Our room was extremely spacious and everything was spotless. The bed was so comfy, it felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. Water pressure was great in the shower. The larger mini-fridge was convenient for keeping beverages and leftovers fresh. The location is fantastic-- you are just steps out the door to the ocean, and likewise in a very accessible area for restaurants, shops, and groceries. The front staff was extremely friendly and helpful, as were the ladies running the continental breakfast in the morning. Great experience all around; we hope to come back and stay again soon!
