WE had a very nice view of the water but the walls are a bit thin so we could hear neighbors, also they need to upgrade their mattresses! Back was sore and I know about mattresses as we have a very old 1786 built country Inn in VT and we have needed to replace mattresses not since back then but because the last 8 to 10 years mattresses have gotten progressively better! Thanks.

Great location, private ocean cove was awesome. Walk path to the village was convenient and allowed direct access to the beach. Unfortunately, the bed was very uncomfortable and we woke up stiff and sore. Still a great place - just needs better mattresses.
