The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. Everything was dated, from the faucets to the fans in the shower and toilet rooms to the carpet and furniture. The fireplace was a nice touch and overall we enjoyed our stay. We found a used towel in the toilet room and the whole place had not had a deep cleaning in a while. But for the price and the location, it’s a decent deal, especially if you need a room with multiple beds and don't mind that there is no coffee maker, hairdryer or refrigerator (which can be requested but was unavailable during our stay).

Walk to a white sand beach was fairly close. Rooms were fun, rustic cabin like rooms. The cleaning crew woke us at 7:45am with a loud two way radio conversation and vacuum in hallways outside our room. Walls are thin, you can hear everything and I mean everything. There are no instructions on how to check out. There is no TV in rooms.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property was maintained and views were very beautiful. The rooms are very old and cold. We checked in and found no toiletries available and had to ask the front desk. Some of the staff were very nice and helpful (housekeeping), while others were not (front desk). The parking is very limited and we were circling to find parking near our build for 10 minutes, finally finding one close to our building.

Good if you want to be at the beach a a lot. Really nice community and property hospitality. However, there is no air conditioning on the property, only heater. So be careful going during the summer.

The grounds themselves were beautiful, but we had ants in our room. I had also requested a refrigerator (for an extra fee) if available and the staff advised they’d bring one if they had one. We never received one, which is fine, but when I went to checkout, they had charged me for it. I thankfully was able to get that removed, but still slightly frustrating cause had I not asked about it, they would have charged me for something I didn’t receive. The room we had was very basic. Basically enough room for the 2 beds, some sitting chairs and that was it. There was no tv, which is also fine, but would be nice to know ahead of time as we had a child with us. The location however is great and had a lovely trail walk straight to the beach. There’s a lot going on at this location, like live music on Fridays, pool, an actual swimming pool.

We arrived to the guest check-in area, which seemed a bit rustic, but charming. Staff was helpful. Then we were assigned our room key and followed the map to an adjacent neighborhood that was not on the main site. We entered an unsecured building that was abandoned, except for us us. The carpet in the hallway was moldy and warped. Upon entering the room, we found filthy carpets and furnishings. Torn up carpets and furnishings. It looked like something had chewed on all the furniture in the room such as the counter in the bathroom, the desk, etc. We went back to the front desk and asked for another room. They seem to be understanding of our concern that the room was uninhabitable. We asked for another room and they did not have any others. So we left. Trying to get a refund from Expedia. Too bad I wanted to like this place.

Beautiful location right across the street from a beautiful beach and tide pools. It almost felt as if we were camping, there was plenty of outdoor seating and amenities like volleyball net and firepit. Room was recently renovated but the bathroom was still a little outdated but do-able. The water was either too hot or too cold but other than that one of my favorite stays!

Overall the property and rooms were good. We enjoyed the historic beauty and close proximity to the beach. We never found the pool so we didn't use it. There was a wedding event happening and we could hear the thumping of the music in our room. The shower kept dripping all night even though we turned it all the way off.

Great last minute addition to our Spring Break. The location was beautiful and accommodating for what we needed. The rooms are dated but clean. For the price, we would definitely book again with friends and family. The grounds have a lot of potential and from what we could see, history. We loved the lodge feel. Wish we had more time to explore.
