The Heritage House experience is unique and being there to take in the whole property really should be the goal. The rooms are all great (been many times) and the staff super friendly and welcoming. The bedding is luxurious and the beds are “clouds!” Everything is well maintained and even the coffee is terrific!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I love that the resort is a mixture of different cottages/buildings. I was assigned to a duplex with a partial ocean-view. The room was clean and tidy, inviting, and offered all the amenities one would expect from a hotel resort. The shampoo, conditioner, and lotion smelled wonderful! And the rain shower head was an experience in itself. I was pleased that the pillows actually supported my head and neck. Along with the comfortable bed and winter temperature, I could have easily slept all morning. This resort is a nature reserve on its own with a private beach access. The grounds are well-maintained and I thoroughly enjoyed walking all around the resort. The warm cookies upon check-in is a nice touch as well! Overall an excellent stay! Highly recommended and worth going back to again someday.

First thing, the staff is absolutely wonderful. They made our Thanksgiving week an incredible holiday experience. Lovely folks from reception to the restaurant and cleaning staff. Our room was modern and very clean. The grounds and view are spectacular. We did not want to leave and neither did our beagle. We plan to come back in the spring.

The location of this property is amazing. Our room had a deck that had an unobstructed ocean view. The room itself was cute but was in need of repair. I would expect for the price of the room that the interior should be at a higher level. The toilet seat was broken, the cabinets were very worn and rug and furnishings looked very used. Overall we did enjoy our stay though and will return.

We stayed in a lovely private cabin in the woods. Two of the bedrooms were very nice, and the bunk room was very rustic with a strong odor. The staff was very attentive to the issues that came up during our stay, but unfortunately, they were unable to fix our WiFi. It wasn’t functional for much of our stay. We were disappointed with the dining options in and around the hotel, finding the dinner restaurant expensive and the food not as good as we were expecting. The breakfast room was lovely, and the view made up for the slightly disappointing breakfast food. Overall this was a lovely hotel in a beautiful location with friendly, attentive staff, but not a food destination, or a place to work with steady WiFi.

Great place, great rooms, great setting. I had one of the higher end rooms and was frustrated by penny pinching measures such as food not being available on location at least during reasonable hours, or ordering breakfast à la carte and paying for it xtra. These seem to be reasonable expectations for a high end, largish resort, and even profitable if done right. The staff is great and they are genuinely pet friendly, although the pet fee was not at least clearly delineated by Orbitz. I actually regret changing hotels mid way through my stay.
