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!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Lots of amenities such as heated pool, mini golf and access to kayaks/paddleboards. Good breakfast. View was amazing from part of the property, however from our room the trees & bushes needed to be trimmed & thinned out. What could of been an incredible view of the harbor was a view of bushes- disappointing.

The location was nice. The price was reasonable, but things were run down, and it did not seem very clean. There was a damp "smell" in the room. I would not stay there again.

This hidden gem is exactly what we were looking for. While the room was bare-bones, the property was spectacular. The resort is quintessential Maine. Stunning views of the cove and surrounding property, are worth the visit alone. We wished we could have stayed longer. The breakfast buffet was delish, and the amenities (pool, shuffleboard, paddling and dock views were a nice bonus. We made reservations to come back. I great place for a reset.

Smelly room because of old carpet. Doors with cracks that we could see through. Back door difficult to open . Small old fridge . Clean and adequate beddings . Shower ok . Breakfast generous . Nice weather, so we spend our time outdoor . Kayaking, mini-golfing , we also made a fire at night that was really a nice opportunity . The accommodations need renovations ! The property has great potential !

Disappointing

We were quite disappointed with our stay. The room smelled musty and was very dark. It was advertised as having an « ocean view » but outside our window was uncut grass and weeds, and full trees, as well as a lost bathing suit that must have fallen from the balcony above. We could see a peek of the water. In addition there was no garbage can and the toilet flush was loose. The breakfast was okay with some warm items. Our highlight was the use of the kayak as well as the ping pong table. I think this is mis labeled a « resort » and instead should be called a family camp. It was quote run down and did not resemble the advertised photos at all.
