We stayed at the Heritage House last weekend. The property itself is in a beautiful location, but it could benefit from some updates and maintenance. From our room’s deck, the view of the ocean was partially impacted by visible septic tank manholes and a leach field, and one of the cottages on the property appeared boarded up. Inside the room, we noticed a couple of chips in the flooring, worn baseboards, and cabinets that showed signs of wear. None of these things ruined our stay, but they did make the space feel a little dated rather than truly luxurious.
The biggest disappointment was finding out upon arrival that the restaurant and bar were not serving alcohol because of an inactive liquor license. This wasn’t mentioned when we booked, and given the high nightly rate (over $600), it was frustrating to miss out on that part of the experience.
Overall, this isn’t a bad place to stay—the setting is lovely, and we still enjoyed our weekend. But guests should know that while you’ll pay luxury prices, the property and amenities don’t fully deliver a luxury product at this time.
