Absolutely Anazing
We stayed at the waterfront cabin. Walked out the front door onto a dock where we watched sea planes take off and land. Close enough to walk to the spit (we walked the entire 4.5 miles to the end). Really nice cabin with lots of light. One of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed!

Sea Planes

Amazing location! Wonderful little home
The best locatiopn one could ask for!! Right on the water, watching sea planes take off and land, right in between main town and the Spit, so it really was a great location. Small restaurant on site, too!
