Great location but road in front facility was a disaster. They need to get is fixed

Robert H2025-10-11

Very close to the designated private beach. Clean, old-school cottage with charm. Very close to Red Arrow Highway, so you have a very short drive to all the nearby restaurants & local attractions. Seamless check-in process, good value overall.

Could use updating, had problems with front door lock. Nice beach

Jody T2025-08-18

We enjoyed our short walk to the beautiful beach, walking through the quiet neighborhoods and close location to many restaurants and things to enjoy!

ERIN K2025-07-05

So close to beach

Morgan M2024-09-04

Less than 2 blocks walk to the beach, great location. The house was small and cute, perfect for family of 4. However the carpet was disgusting, stained and had a very strong mildew smell. We opened all the windows to air it out, which seemed to help a little after 24 hours. We notified the staff, they said someone would reach out to us but no one ever did. Also the beds were extremely uncomfortable, so we did not have restful sleep. The neighborhood was nice, there is not much privacy, but the neighbors were all very friendly.
