The cabins have been well renovated with comfortable beds, stylish furnishings and a large walk-in shower. It’s hard to beat the views from their extensive seacliff property. We waked the property every day and descended the stairs to their small beach at low tide. Their breakfast is generous and tasty, though they could improve their dinner selection. At night we thoroughly enjoyed cocktails at the bar for jazz cello and guitar (fabulous!) and piano on the other night.

We have stayed at this property a couple times. We loved that there is a property on site and that it is good. The room we had this time, the view was blocked by trees so that was a little hard to enjoy the view. The property is looking a little worn and could use some TLC.

We had a very bad stay the cottage was very poor quality, no telephone, no closets, had to put our clothes on the sofa. Bathroom was tiny and sink did not work, had to use the kitchen sink. I have taken a video and would like to post it. We were unprepared for such a bad facility. It was supposed to be the ultimate in luxury and it was just the opposite. It was a log cabin and we paid $800 a night for it. Please have someone call me as I’d like to get my money back.
