"Car park was a struggle to get in and out of with not much backing room and turn space. Friendly staff just wished I hadn’t had to wait a while to get a fresh set of towels, seen a family waiting for a staff member was there for a long period of time. When arriving not properly greeted or instructed on how cleaning and everything works (or even telling us tourist about what’s around here and what activities are on etc)"

"The hotel was so clean, cozy, and inviting. The ocean is right across the street, offering incredible views and beach access. The location was outside of the commercial center, but still so close it was walkable. Finally, the proprietors were very helpful and pleasant. We will most certainly be back."

8/10 Good
"I think this an excellent value for a large group considering it sleeps 12. The view is beautiful and shops and restaurants are a short 5-10 minute drive away. The driveway is a bit narrow and daunting going down at night but our mid size suv did fine. Really appreciate the many spices, oil, vinegar and even some flour, sugar and other baking needs. Decent dishes and glassware although a few pans are a bit past their prime. Communication with the host was excellent and much appreciated. "
