It was ok for the local and price however,the rooms are outdated. Renovations are badly needed, which they are supposed to be starting next week. The staff are not very helpful nor are the very flexible for mishaps due to third party bookings. Very strict regarding the 10 am check out time.

I liked that each room was it’s own little “tiny house.” It was very quiet and felt like a safe area. Lots of food options near by. The room could have used some cosmetic updates and the shower was tiny, but overall a good place to sleep.

The beds were comfortable, overall a decent place. The neighbors were potheads who left quite the stink in the area and had a screaming row at 3:30 am. (Not the property's fault, but did affect our enjoyment of our stay.) The fridge's compressor was very noisy. The front staff were kind and seem like good people.

This is a quaint little property. We rented a classic cabin and the pictures are exactly what you get. It’s small but cozy. The heat worked perfectly and the shower was small but hot! Bed was fine. Big flat screen tv with all cable channels plus a small microwave and fridge. The owner/manager was kind. Close to several lobster restaurants. The Sea Salt Lobster restaurant was delicious. It was a little over two miles to Old Orchard Beach which was a nice place to walk around during the offseason. I’d definitely come back here if I’m ever in the area again.
