The property was nice. The buildings were dated, but our room was private, quiet and had a porch with chairs overlooking the bay. The stairs and railings down to the water needed replacing. They were a little scary.

We liked the added amenities of the property with access to kayaks and canoes. It was in a nice location overlooking the water. The place could use a little TLC, it had a campground feel to it. The breakfast was good!

Lovely setting need upgrading

Loved the setting. Outside property was beautiful. Access to Kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards The room we had needed upgrading and initially smelled musty. Once we opened door for awhile the must smell subsided. Front desk staff member could have been more welcoming and when we left on Sunday I said just dropping off key. His response was Ok. Not Ok how was your stay or something to show an interest. Our room did not look anything like the picture on the website. Basic breakfast, loved the blueberry pancakes We would go back maybe try to get a room with a deck not just a balcony.

The beds are very comfortable, the view was lovely from our room, staff was friendly and helpful, no gluten-free options for breakfast. The pool was lovely and inviting, but there was no hot tub. Did you want that or you were just covering up?

Breakfast had a good variety. Beds were a little squeaky but comfortable and it needed some renovations- think 80’s style. Air conditioner cooled the room down a little but not enough especially at night

The walkway into our room was missing stones between the paver making a huge tripping hazard. The kayaks should be scheduled so others have time. One groups used them all day making it limited for others. Not enough fire pits. The pool was great! The view to the harbor is getting blocked by trees and they could use some trimming and weed removal behind the unit at the bottom of the hill closer to the harbor. Still would go there again!!! Would recommend, the breakfast is also great!
