Beautiful views of the ocean, clean room and kind staff. The property is a little rundown, but the rooms had some updates. I appreciate the full kitchen. Bathroom towels could be bigger. Don't use microwave and toaster at the same time. 😀

Floors were a little soft in spots near small bed, main bed was small. Needs tongs for kitchen. Those are very minor complaints. Views were outstanding. Fireplace and dog friendly were the reasons for me choosing this place. I will repeat

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Main bed was on a roller frame, that still had the wheels on it, so the bed moved constantly, even when just moving in bed. This place is fun, and quaint, but the cottages are in need of renovation. Bathroom was very small--I would have gladly sacrificed some room in the bedroom or living room for a larger bathroom. The living space is huge, but you could expand the kitchen and bathroom and still have lots of room. None of this would keep me from staying again. But some who are pickier than me might feel different.
