Memorial Day Weekend

We got there a bit early, had to wait beyond the 3pm check in, but the hosts were very gracious and provided us breakfast for two days for the inconvenience. The grounds, the properties on them are so quaint and well appointed, very comfortable stay.
Comfy on Adirondack chairs out front of our building
The Inn at night, just beautiful.
Off the front porch, family fun.

The cottage we were assigned was entirely comical. It was miniature, and you could hardly manage one person, let alone two adults, in the space. The room smelled musty and like mildew. The restaurant had limited food and drink options, and the service wasn't great. We waited at our table for over ten minutes before we were served water and provided a chance to order. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, there were 3 tables including us.

The property was wonderful and there were plenty of amenities. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Especially Tea and Alex, they were the best! The only negative experience was during dining at the restaurant. There was a gentleman with glasses who seemed to be in charge of running everything and on two occasions was rather rude to us. The rest of the staff at the restaurant were wonderful.

The ocean front location was amazing! The rooms are not bear as nice as i hoped. We stayed in the guesthouse 8. The toilet & tp holder were crooked, all the baseboards, door panel edge, tp holder etc had a solid layer of dust The wifi didnt work the 1st day . The maintenance man was so rude and kept saying it was my phone until he figured out there was a wire disconnected.

Property was nice and staff was friendly. Although we did not get the room we booked which was disappointing as we booked a room with a view and received a room with no view. Do not be late for breakfast!!! We arrived at 9:30 and was told we could not have breakfast as they stopped serving at 9:30, I can appreciate rules but surely coffee and toast wasn’t too much to ask for. It was a pretty property and overall the stay was nice, just wish they had been a little more accommodating.

Our second year visiting and it won’t be our last. Beach is very peaceful and while it is small it is never crowded. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are always available. We had dinner one night at the restaurant and it was surprisingly good. The setting on the lawn overlooking the ocean was perfect.

We stayed here because it was directly on the beach, and also had a pool, playground, and restaurant on site. Very family friendly, we were bringing our almost 2 year old to the beach for the first time and did not want to have to drive between what would likely be short visits to the beach. Lots of kids of various ages running around all day, and seemed to all be having the time of their lives. Housekeeping staff was amazing at working around our nap schedule (hard to clean up when there's a kid napping for 3 hours of the workday, but they came early and discussed our needs, and went above and beyond. I told them we really just needed the trash can emptied and new towels, and was amazed that they vacuumed, cleaned the bathroom, and made the beds during what was probably only a 1 hour window of us being at the beach).
