Can’t say enough about Cliff Haven on the bay! Very clean and fully equipped with kitchen utensils and coffee makers and supplies. And you certainly can’t beat the view! Beds were also very comfortable. The one small issue we had was resolved almost immediately. Communication was easy and excellent right from the time we booked. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend a stay here and are looking forward to coming back in the future.

Loved the view and the quiet privacy. Lovely little cabin. However, possibly due to slow communication from Expedia , I did not receive the email with the directions or door code. Finding the place in the dark with no directions with just the map app is practically impossible. The address of the cabin is at the top of a narrow dead end lane and the address of the host is difficult to find as the house number is very small and neither that nor the small sign for the cabin is not lit in anyway . Taking the directions given by the map app, you will only see the back of the sign. After an hour , I finally found it , and once I did, it was a great place and I really enjoyed it :)

This cottage is amazing! It is perched above the waterfront and has magnificent views from the bedroom and the large deck. The bed linens, towels and amenities were top quality and both beds (one Murphy) were very comfortable. The kitchen/living room is open-concept and with lots of natural light. The only reason it only gets 4 out of 5 stars is because it was not clean.
