Minerva's is a great find. It is perfect for a long weekend. The emperor penguin room was great for our girls (age 7& 10) and us, with a kitchen too. We loved how quiet and convenient the beach was. We rode bikes (borrowed 2 from Minerva's and rented 2 a few blocks away) to the beach, the lighthouse, a playground,... More

My boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere special to go to for July 4th and we decided on Minerva's. So glad we did! This bed & breakfast is super close to the beach and right by a really cute beach town that we explored a little bit inbetween swimming and suntanning. The b&b itself is also really nice (clean,...

No need to leave this part of island. Truly the best breakfasts. Super clean, beautifully decorated. I knew we had made the best choice when the staff told me... More

Who knew that a small fishing-village B & B could also provide the perfect setting for a weekend workshop aimed at getting our creative juices flowing? We spent 24 hours in focused preparation, followed by three lovely LOW-COST days to work on our individual projects. As a professional writer, I can tell you that it really worked! I wrote for...

We have been going to Minerva's B&B for several years now and look forward to each visit. In June 1-3 we partook of a Creative-spirit weekend in which we took part of several projects to get our creative juices flowing. We enjoyed the interesting dialog with the varied backgrounds of the wonderful friends we got to know and stretched out... More

Rooms are pleasant, well appointed and fresh looking. The breakfasts prepared by our hostess were outstanding, in quality, quantity... More
