Not like it used to be.
We have stayed here before but in one of the bigger rooms which we loved. This time we had a smaller room. Bathroom extremely small. Toilet area is small and would not work if you are a large person. Do not like not having anyone in the office. If you need something you have to call a number and then the drive over and get what you need. They still use no contact Covid era. Kitchen cupboards and drawers are stuck shut. You have to really pull to get them opened. If we stay here again you try room 8, 9, 10 or 11, they ard the bigger rooms
Upon arrival we didn’t have the correct code for the lockbox, so we had to call management to get the right code sent. Also, management is not onsite but you’re given a phone number to call. The owner was quick to call back, which was good. Our room smelled musty and more than the usual coastal smell. There was a wet dog/animal urine smell that would occur when you walked past certain parts of the room, there were ants in the room (literal ants on our pants), and mold on the ceiling.
Staff was very helpful. Perfect locatuon n room was adorable. Had booked one night but decided to stay another night. Person on phone said the room i had was not available but the house cleaning would clean next cabin first n move my stuff over for me. Extreme helpful if i had to complain about anything code for door did not work. But hose cleaning got me in n i grabbed key. I would have key in box outside n use a cide to get in that. I like keys but i am old school.

Thought it was cute when 1st arrived, only to figure out many problems. Porch light doesnt work, fireplace in room doesnt work, toilet leaks all over floor, some drawers in kitchen were really hard to open and close, there is no shelves, or sink space to put any of your toiletries in the bathroom, serious ant problem in kitchen. Staff was friendly and bed was comfortable, however we did have to leave a night earlier than expected and find another hotel because we
Were just not comfortable there.
Very responsive with questions about access, and left towels for my dog. I love this place and will be back for every trip out there!

I loved the room it was just outside of town so it was nice and quiet. There is no on site staff to answer any questions only a phone number that no one answers.
cute little buildings, nice kitchen, comfy bed, surprisingly quiet at night, good dog area, good price - we will stay there again

Liked: Cleanliness
cute place but really dark at night.
Went there a lot of times when it had an actual owner. Now it is a corporate owner, and you feel it. Personal touch is gone, which we liked so much. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Not much space to put our belongings. The floor was so cold, so that the fake fireplace had a hard time to warm the room and floor. We loved the fire ring and were sitting there every night before. Now: there is a little wood. That's it. No starter, gasoline, hook for changing the logs, anything. No light outside on the premises, only the 8 lights working on the 10 buildings. Really dark everywhere. Landscaping is not well maintained. Too bad. it was a gem before what we loved. Don't know if we are going back. Had problems with getting the code to the door on time, because of a WIFI outage they said.
Clean rooms, comfortable bed, easy parking. Only thing is that they didn't season the skillets. lol. Nice little kitchen. Refrigerator. Had a good time there at a decent price. Next time I will try out the outdoor fire pit and spa.
