It was an amazing experience, breakfast was spot on, hotel room is clean, the ocean view was perfect. Being in the woods gives it that real get away, relaxed feeling. We went out on the canoe that they have for free and spent all morning seeing wildlife and sightseeing. We will definitely be coming back.

This is an older property that was recently updated in a tranquil setting. Our room was right by the water, but half of the view was blocked by trees. The ac window unit was old and very very noisy. We enjoyed canoeing and saw seals and otters. The breakfast is sufficient for the price point of the room.

Our room was clean, but since it was overlooking the water, had a rather musty smell when we first arrived. We were able to air it out. I notified staff and they informed us that the building we were in is next on the rehab list, hopefully removing that musty smell when first arriving. The balcony view was first rate. Breakfast was great! Only drawback: carrying suitcases up the stairs!

Had a wonderful time here. Nice room. Breakfast every morning wth eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, yogurt, bagels, and more. Everyone who works here is very pleasant and helpful. Many activities to do. They have mini golf, tennis, basketball, pickleball, pool, canoes and paddle balls. Large checkers and chess set and more. Fire pits to sit and relax in the evening. Close to restaurants and things to do. Must go see the botanical gardens. Nice balcony with the rooms with table and chairs. Would definitely stay again.

Breakfast was amazing, the view from our room was great. When we got there a staff member walked in on us within ten minutes of being in the room which made us a little uncomfortable. As we were leaving the next day a different staff member asked us if we checked out the minute we left out someone went into our room at 9:30am. It felt a bit rushed. The area itself was beautiful and certain staff were wonderful as well.

Gorgeous water views; can have either a sunset view or sunrise view, both over water, depending on what room you stay in. We were only supposed to stay one night, but decided after being here only 10 minutes, that we’d extend our stay a second night, as it was so beautiful here! Grateful AC was in the rooms and will be back again. Only hiccup was we had to change rooms to stsy the second night, and were given the run-around all day as to when our new room would be ready…VERY frustrating, as we were tired from 2 days of travelling a very long distance. Grounds were lovely (flowers strategically planted), and tons of fun activities, including a HEATED pool! Mini-golf, paddle boards, kayaking, huge outdoor chess, inside checkers, all included in the room fee! The only thing l didnt like was having to leave my drivers license in order to borrow their mini-golf clubs. However, we will definirely be back!
