"This stay was satisfactory for the price. Basic room is quite small and crowded by oversized furniture. The beach view was very nice, but I was expecting beach access which there wasn't. All in all, I would recommend this stay as the room and bedding were clean."

"Our room was so cozy and felt like being in a favorite aunt’s best guest room. The bed is a bit unwieldy in the room we were in (Evergreen) It’s very tall and the featherbed kind of sucks you into place and holds you there. However it was such a lovely stay and we will 100% be back. Do yourself a favor and get the muffins for breakfast with their excellent coffee drinks. We were thrilled."

"Very nice stay. It is an older property so I was not sure what to expect but it appears to have been recently remodeled and has been well maintained. My room had 2 queen beds (I only needed one!). The lady at check-in and check-out was friendly. had made fresh coffee that I had as I was leaving and it was excellent. She had also set out a variety of muffins and biscuits and she said I could take as many as I wanted. I had dinner at their restaurant and it was very good. Only thing was that the floor in the shower was very slippery, but I just put a hand towel down on it and it was fine."

"The property was fantastic. The ocean view from our room was amazing. We enjoyed the hiking trails and the spectacular views! The food was good and the bar staff were friendly. A larger bar would be nice , but the ability to order a drink and take or to a different location nearby the bar with spectacular views makes up for a smaller bar."
