We enjoyed our stay, however, they do NOT service the room unless you ask 24hrs in advance. Because it’s on the ocean the humidity is high so the towels do not dry all the way. They do not replenish the coffee or anything else.

The floor in the room looked filthy. The carpet was badly stained. We stayed on first floor and since there is no air conditioning we had to leave the window open. At night, the patrons above us partied all night and into the morning we could hear them vomiting on the deck above us.

Our room was great. Great view of the Ocean from our room! We upgraded when we got there to an ocean view room thee as that cost 40.00 more per night but totally worth it. Not too happy with their restaurant.

Staff was very friendly. Rooms were a bit dated and no air or heater except for wood burning stove and ceiling fan. No screen on the sliding glass door. Room smelled like a campfire and carpeting felt damp. Beds were not comfortable. Grounds were very nice and clean. Probably would not stay there again.

The location is nice because it’s on the beach. The rooms didn’t feel well maintained and the AC didn’t work. When we asked staff for help getting the AC to work they told us to use a fan. The room was hot and never cooled down.

The area is dirty too much garbage, no fridge for your food and no AIR conditioning, no cold air! The room was 83 degrees inside ! Horrendous! My food was spoiled the small mini fridge does not work! Plus you cannot swim the beach is too dirty too many rocks, and logs, the front office said that there is a fan to keep the room cool, the ocean view is good “noise” but nice but for $359 per night! NO! Not worth it. Coffee was good . And the sink did not drain all dirty water got stuck! The front office did nothing! To make me change my mind! Never AGain!
