We had a wonderful stay! The beach access was incredibly easy, and the beach itself was probably one of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. The resort was relaxing, well-maintained, and the location was perfect for enjoying the ocean. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it!

Nice, clean place in a beautiful location right by the beach. Would have liked to have stayed longer as we were only there for one night while we were driving on the cabin trail. But it looked like there were other families that were there for multiple nights, enjoying the beach and the surrounding areas.

Beach is stunning. The restaurant is lovely. The staff are so nice and friendly. Our cottage was so clean and spotless. They’re showing their age, but one of the few places you can bring pets. They had all we needed.

Truly enjoyed our cottage on the ocean, which was somewhat spartan but adequate. The main building had a decent restaurant, although the buffet breakfast was overpriced with runny scrambled eggs and limited options.

Was a great stay over all. Only 2 negatives Beds were very firm and didn’t have a BBQ for our room as described. We had 4 adults and 2 kids with a dog and we had way more room than we needed for our stay! If you have pets it’s very pet friendly the staff loved to see all the dogs around. Would definitely recommend and if in the area again would definitely stay here next time.

Perfect place to unwind with kids. Rooms were spacious and super clean, staff was helpful and proximity to the beach is A+. As a parent travelling with kids, this is best place for everyone to enjoy. They also have BBQ for each cottage which was an added bonus. The only downside was breakfast, as restaurants near this place either were closed or open late during off season.

Host was very friendly and because of the early season and room availability she upgraded us to a nicer room, with 2 beds and a view of the ocean. Great location. Wish the restaurant was open but again too early in the year. Would stay again and recommend to friends and family.
