Wonderful

Although just 1 night, Our stay was amazing- When checking in the Older Gentleman was so welcoming and friendly. He explained rules of the property clearly and directed us to our little cottage. The cottage itself was a small studio style and it had a beautiful ocean view and was reasonably priced and perfect for a little romantic getaway.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
The listing is very misleading. Stated I was getting ENTIRE HOME.
It was a tent with an uncomfortable bed that sank in the middle. Bathrooms are outhouses. Pillows uncomfortable. We both woke up with stiff neck. Freezing cold at night. Flimsy blanket. Waste of money.. Kitchen tea coffee closes super early even in summer. Only three showers stalls entire property. Very deceiving primo pricing
You’re paying close to $180 for a bed in a tent. No hookups. No heat. No amenities. Just a bed in a tent. Nothing luxury about this! Front desk- very dry, somewhat discriminatory. But that’s ok.
*Now the views are beautiful! That’s what you pay for. Won’t throw money like that again. Getting a campsite is much cheaper, with hookups!

Our stat flying flags was just amazing. We had a wonderful time, beautiful, clean cottages close to the ocean. We booked for summer. Definitely, come back.
We loved everything about this spot. The gentleman in the office was exceptionally friendly and very thorough explaining the property facilities. The accommodation was spacious, clean, super comfortable. The L-shaped deck had a propane with two seating areas to watch the sunrises and sunsets. Stunning views. A must stay. Would absolutely go back.
Lovely quiet, superb ocean view from the cottage. The fire pit was great to have on a cooler evening.short walk to town (by the beach, about 20-25 min).
