Can’t say enough great things about this place! The staff was amazing, the views were gorgeous, the rooms were cute and clean, and it was secluded and peaceful while still being close to restaurants and attractions. Will definitely be staying here again in the future!

It was a little cottage on the beach! Beautiful setting, beach is nice and we really enjoyed our stay. Weather was not as good as we hoped for and were not able to fully enjoy the beach as we would have liked. Cottages were clean, a little worn but nice. We would definitely stay here again!

Disliked: Amenities
Room lacked some basic amenities: cups, clothing rack, hook on bathroom door for robe or personal care kit, second luggage rack, tissues. Felt very bare bones. Staff was lovely and accommodating however. Lobby/front desk area did not appear clean and organized. Looked more like a “back room” than a guest area.

The worst experience. They overbooked and let us stay in the small room. The smoke detector was disconnected. The sliding door overshot when closed. My 6 years old boy finger was stocked.

Definitely a dated resort. Super thin walls. Sounded like my neighbors were in the same room with me. I was in unit 5, close to the highway so kept the fan on all night to drown out the road noise. Not impressed for the price I paid. Happily it was a business expense. Can't say I'd go back on my own dime.
