We had a fantastic 5 day stay. This cottage was perfect and had everything we needed. Very tranquil and quiet and we enjoyed fabulous sunsets. The location was great for us to enjoy day trips exploring the area. We hope to visit again in the future!

Nice place with great views

Good site to tour the area. Second bedroom is small, not an issue for us. Well stocked kitchen. Good tv and dining area.

Seaside relaxation

Nice cabin with near new everything. Had one mixup with amenities but the property manager came through with flying colours. Above & beyond for customer care.

Wonderful Retreat

The property is excellent and the location is outstanding. The resort itself is new and expanding and the facilities are excellent. The cottage looks out onto the ocean with a great view of the marina, ocean, and nearby islands. The unit is also new and the property managers keep it very clean and well stocked. The only thing to be aware of it is that it is a small cabin, essentially the size of a mobile home. The second bedroom is quite small but would be fine for a single person or kids. Aside from that everything else was great and we would highly recommend it.
