Amazing location! It doesn’t get any better than this if you want a place close to the ocean. Have never stayed at a place where the water was this close to your room. Room was old and a little rundown but was clean and comfortable. Was fine because we were only in it at night. Was amazing going to sleep with the sound of the ocean outside. Highly recommend the restaurant there, nice atmosphere and the food was delicious. Would love to visit again in the future!

I have a very mixed review of this property. When I needed customer service before we came, the phone would ring and ring and ring. I had one lady answer once and get my number so she could call me back, but she has yet to do so. When we got to the property, the service barely averaged. The property is in a great location; it is confusing for the exits, and you have to go down two miles, do a U-turn, and come back. I feel for the amount I paid they could offer a little more, the rooms need updating, For me it is a one and done.

"Rustic" would be a positive spin..."dilapidated" would be more accurate. The place seems to be falling apart, and, clearly, ownership/management doesn't give a care. There seems to be a general lack of maintenance. Peeling paint, rusted pipes, dead grass, mops and buckets w/dirty water left in the middle of walkways. The ocean view is the only redeeming quality.

Beautiful serene view of the ocean right outside our doorstep. Great food @ the attached restaurant, a short walk to a private beach, generous accommodations & room w/ double bedrooms are always a plus.

Best kept secret this place is! I almost don’t want to say only because it might make it more expensive 😂😂😂 It’s honestly the perfect little retreat away from the city! You have everything you need for a night away! The food in the restaurant is divine and the views are breathtaking! You can take a lovely quiet walk along the beach and not have to use your car while you are there!! Loved every second of our overnight! Parking was free also and we enjoyed dinner my the pool the first night, a complimentary breakfast the following morning! Then lunch and dinner the following day! We will definitely be back! Amanda at front desk is ace 🙌

Our room was on ground level and we couldn’t sleep because we could hear EVERY SINGLE movement on the top floor…. plus that the washing room opens up into the main area and it’s SOOO noisy. The staff don’t care if people are resting or they are mainly there to relax so they keep going back and forth and doing the chores using the same staircase as the guests. Another thing to consider is that not only the room was DISGUSTING there was NO water neither in the refrigerator nor in the “hotel”… the only time water was provided was during breakfast hours and if you order lunch or dinner there. The wending machine was out of service and so you HAVE to drive to the nearest store to buy water and food, like you are on a camping site !!!!! The pool water was disgusting and there was zero space between the pool and restaurant setting and this has made us VERY uncomfortable to swim or even be in bathing suits. Please think twice before booking a room there…

The property is really cool and really beautiful. All in all it was a great time, just to get to sit by the pool with a beautiful view of the ocean while having a couple drinks. My only concern is that we paid to book a Queen size bed but got a full size. Additionally, I think the bed in room #2 is broken. It made loud creaking sounds through the night, enough to wake me a few times. We are not by any means "big" people but you can hear it even when just rolling over or sitting up. It was also very hot in the room. It felt like a safe property so we kept the door and window open a while otherwise it would have been unbearable. Would stay again though, just in a different bed.

This was my first time staying here and I was quite pleased as I was just looking to get away by myself and simply do nothing. The rooms are a bit rundown, but after all it is an inn and Agai I was comfortable. I didn’t book my stay because of the rooms I booked it because of the beautiful Oh my God, so tired of answering to machines surrounding area, the ocean, the pool, the spectacular view. I knew it was a family friendly facility however Friday seems to be the night that families with oodles of kids come Saturday and Sunday in so next year when I stay, it’ll be Monday through Thursday. It just got too busy Kids are just too noisy
