Very surprising. Wasn't sure what to expect as it looked very dated. Well it was, but in such a nice way. It was an old style cabin. Very comfortable and very clean. Beach was just a short walk away. Campfire every evening.Chairs set outside in many places. Staff was so nice and helpful. Would highly recommend staying here.

Great stay!
The private beach is stunning!!! The shared grassy space between cabins is great also. Lots of benches and picnic tables you can use and enjoy. The room itself is nice, has everything you’d want or need.

Hosts Bring the Sun!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were amazing and extremely accommodating. They were always friendly and asking how they could help, while also respecting our space. The nightly fires brought a sense of community among the guests. The views at the beach were beautiful, which was just a short walk across the road. If we return, we would happily stay here again.
