We were unaware that all of the rooms were not cottages. So, the super squeaky bed in a room that shares a wall with the office was likely fun for the people popping in for breakfast...
We literally came to feel safe and we totally did. Great job with the firepit area too. Also, super kind staff. When we needed extra towels, the cleaning lady was so kind to give us some and the smile went a long way.
My only complaint was that a room was not available on the first floor except for the handicap room. The room was very nice - the nicest we've had in our four stays at Bide-A-Wee - but we had to pay an additional $20 per night.
This is one of my favorite places to stay. I love having a separate living area and the fireplace makes it nice and cozy. Close to the beach that you can walk there. Have stayed here many times and will stay again.
The staff were great. The furnishings and appliances in the cottage were a bit dated and our bed was very firm. It was difficult to sleep, but we made it work. It was a perfect location near the beach.
First time at this property and we will definitely be back! Very quiet, charming, and the front desk staff and the housekeeping staff were so friendly! We will be back! Thank you!
Great location - walking distance to the ocean. Our room was at the very end next to the road which got loud around 8 in the morning. Room was small and bed was ok. The toilet was VERY low to the ground. The hair dryer did not stay attached to the wall when used. Will not stay there again.
My room sadly was not clean. There was hair in the bedsheets and crumbs, the bed was weird sod and sunk dramatically and squeaked, the room was beat up and lacked amenities. I liked the location but I won’t be back.
