Cute and clean. Great setting on the beach and nice accommodations. Jonathan had lots of recommendations for things to do around the area. Nice breakfast and friendly staff. Only drawback is noise from highway if you're a light sleeper.

We had a small room snafu which was taken care of right away. We stayed in a room on the second floor, close to the beach which was very nice. The staff was accommodating and easy to work with.

I thought we secured a lake view room as was pictured on the website. The lake view was if you craned your neck to look out the window. Fortunately, I got an extreme discounted price on Expedia. The breakfast room had 3 very small tables and a breakfast that was not impressive at all. It was a clean facility other than that there’s much better out there if your paying full price.

Staffing is SO important for any business and Brio Beach Inn really hits it out of the park with their staff. From the moment we stepped on to the property Patricia had us feeling like her favorite family member coming for a visit! She was smiling, warm and welcoming every encounter we had. She went above and beyond making sure we had the best possible experience. Every room has a view of the water, there is parking on site, the office hours are limited, but they do mean it when they say to call them ANY time. The rooms are clean, and you only hear road traffic in the morning after 9am. Yes, the rooms are small, and all the other “normal” issues you can run in to not staying in your own home, but your on vacation so you don’t spend much time in the rooms, and with employees like Patricia, you don’t feel like just a guest. First time staying at Brio Beach Inn and it made a great impression!

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Although the hotel is on a busy road, the fan in the room kept the noise out at night. I loved that it was on a private beach, with great chairs, firepit and clean, soft sand. The rooms were cozy and cute and had everything you need except for a place to put your clothes. Overall a great place to stay.

Loved the location- 10 min away from downtown TC - close to plenty of restaurants. Great seating areas on and near the beach, very clean! Rooms were a bit disappointing- very small, which was to be expected - but NO storage for clothes, suitcases, etc...Also, really didn't care for the shower setup- no way to adjust water flow (came out blasting), and the shower curtain wasnt long enough, so the bathroom flooded anytime we showered!! Would definitely stay here again! Thanks Brio Beach!
