Cute Little Creek!

We took this trip in this area so we could travel north, south and east. Room was perfect for what we needed. A little difficult to get the room combo. You have to call a phone number to get the code. Other than that, pretty easy. Cute little creek the runs through the property.

This property smelled awful. The carpet was very dirty, as in you could not walk barefoot at all. This property is old and the 2nd bedroom light flickers and may or may not come on. The coffee pot is on a dresser next to the bed, with about 6 inches between them, thus the dresser is unusable. The shower was very small. This property sent 1 or more messages daily before our arrival letting us know about all their rules. Before checking out we had to take off all the sheets, but not mix with the towels, take out the trash, and text we were leaving. The only saving grace was the king bed was comfortable. The second “bedroom” had a plywood door and was too far from the wall a/c unit to be cool at night. I asked the property management company a question and never heard back. I would not stay there again.

The shower did not work. The coffee pot did not work. The steps were unsafe. There was no communication. Maintenance came too late to matter and shower broke again immediately. Chairs by the water were dirty and piled in weeds. Terribly in need of updating and refurbishing. I will say it was clean but that is my only positive comment!

The room was fine. We knew it was goingi g to be small but was very well set up. Only issue is we had no sound on the TV. We asked the owners about it and they knew nothing about it. And since their is no one on site to assist it was never fixed or looked at.

November Stay

The location was just outside the main area of town. Nice views, close to beaches. Would be a nice place to go to in the summer. Clean and friendly staff. We had a toilet set break, and was fixed within an hour. Towels were easily accessible. A couple of things need attention. The handle on the bathroom sink was not attached to the faucet - it needed a set screw to hold in place. We were visiting in freezing weather and the walk ways were slippery from the melted snow on the roof. The eves did not catch all of the water.
