Great Staff and Great Time For Our Dogs!

I was quite anxious to leave our 2 whippets alone for the first time for 4 days and was put at ease by the care Maria and the rest of the staff provided. We loved being able to watch them playing on the iPhone app and on the web while we were away! Most times we checked the cam there was someone interacting with the dogs which was comforting. When we picked them up they were happy and well adjusted. Just a great place if your pet can get along with other dogs! Keep up the great work guys! We'll see you next time!

Great deal, great service, and close to everything

Consider this a reality check from some of these other reviews. Elephant Walk is one block from where everything is happening off Commercial St. and has the best rates around $159 per night high season. Please think about that before you compare this house with $300-$500 guest rooms. This is an old guest house, rough around the edges, but very comfortable and quaint with some interesting art at every turn. The owner Michael offered an explanation when I expressed my concerns about some negative reviews, and we took a chance last week and I�m glad we did! Jared bent over backward to guarantee we were comfortable - even offered us his beach umbrella so we wouldn't have to buy one. He also gave us the skinny on day trips, restaurants, bars, and beaches. Elephant Walk has a nice deck off the 2nd floor where we grabbed some wine and cheese from the shop next door and enjoyed the breeze and conversation. Bottom line, I believe Michael and Jared are trying to make the best of an old guest house and are trying to keep it affordable. Of course it would be nicer if it had a face lift, but it would not be the bargain it is now. I have traveled the world and rarely review, but feel this Inn has been unfairly maligned. I believe you now have enough info to make a decision on whether the Elephant Inn will work for your stay. We had a great stay!
